#102It is hard not to get disappointed after seeing CDN loaded js files claiming single file. And the license part.
Thanks, I will stick to my synology.

#103As per [1] from below - Apparently it's a nag-based paid software with an otherwise restricted feature set. This is not clearly explained on the page. In fact, it looks like the site goes out of its way to try and pass for free software - the Demo is NOT of what you are actually downloading, no pricing info, no mention of Basic vs Full versions anywhere, including the Docs, except for an dull looking blurb at the ver…
> The page also pulls a lot of scripts off the Internet on every load, so that too is not explained anywhere clearly and it's absolutely not good for hosting private photo archives. Well to be fair, that can be explained by the whole 'drop this PHP file in and wham' model they are going for. Personally I would not advertise / make something like this as the single-file model becomes more and more of a constraint as t…
They could bundle all the JS into the PHP file, though.
In my more noobie days, I had PHP _generate_ JS.

I've not tried this but as it's php, couldn't you just edit the file?
Not really. This index.php is just a wrapper as it will refer their .js/.php which you have no control of. To use it fully you'll have to write those as well, at which point you can just start from scratch on your own terms.
So is it running arbitrary PHP on my server if I run this?

If you use something like Syncthing[0] (great, can recommend) you'll get them available exactly where you want them: on all your devices. The only real problem with it is conflicts, where one file is edited simultaneously on two devices. I think Dropbox has solved that (?), but I'd rather keep my data on my own computers.
Syncthing handles conflicts about as elegantly as possible, I think?
They do, but it's still a PITA when one comes up. It's great with KeepassXC database files because you can use the Merge databases function to manually merge the two databases (then delete the .sync-conflict).

Some people make a million dollar a year with a single php file - https://remoteok.com/open - https://twitter.com/levelsio/status/1308145873843560449
And here is the tweet which describes the stack. A single PHP file and Sqlite. This guy is my hero now.

#110Is there an equivalent in Python (Albeit not single-file)?
Does something as simple as https://github.com/sc0tfree/updog count?
