Hello,


until now I have www-served (httpd) my photos using, as it seems to me,
a very simple way: into a directory with photos I copied a file called
gallery.html taken from

https://github.com/gfwilliams/ThinGallery
.

This created a browsable gallery of photos (using a web browser and
over the internet), simple enough for my mom to orient in and use.
Is there any similar way so that I could serve also video files?

Thanks for any comments / recommendations.

(I want something that lives on my machine. I know there are some 'big'
frameworks, perhaps MediaGoblin, Serviio; also I could perhaps run a docker
with minnich under a virtual machine runing linux. But is there something
easy and available on OpenBSD?)


Best regards,

I've successfully run Serviio on OpenBSD in the past and it worked 
great. The only problem I encountered was an FFmpeg issue where subtitle 
burn-in options didn't work.

Heho,
You can just quickly plug something together with the library script and 
video.js?

https://github.com/videojs

Quickly threw together a streaming-playback some years ago: 
https://git.aperture-labs.org/BBB-Things/bbb-stream-control/src/branch/main/var_www_html
 ; Should be totally server platform agnostic.

With best regards,
Tobias
