Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

You can do this with something like Nextcloud. Just set up a folder shared by a link and you’re able to make it a drop box of sorts that anyone can upload to.
Obviously, be careful allowing arbitrary uploads from the whole internet. I’d set a time limit on the share so people can’t upload junk forever.
I had Setup nextcloud for this scenario for two weddings now - share a folder, create a QR code for the URL and print that on flyers, cards, whatever is handed out to the guests. Folder is set to upload only, so it's much like a "just place your files here"-link. Add another share link with read/write permissions to the same folder if needed, create a second QR code and you're good to go :-)
Depending on what permissions the "guests" should have, keep in mind that person a could delete person B's photos (un-) intentionally, so I would go for read only access if you have like inexperienced or old users, that don't know technology so well.
