Pixur

Pixur is a picture management server and frontend. It is designed to support a loose community of users.

Features:

• Pixur has strong access controls. It is possible to restrict access to all content and functionality.
• Design to scale. The intended goal is to be able to store about 100 million pictures in a single installation.
• Weak / Strong deletion semantics. Pictures have well defined life times, and can be partially or weakly deleted. This allows the picuture metadata to remain while removing the file content.
• Individual picture recommendation and scoring. Every user gets customized picture recommendations based on previous voting behavior
• High accessibility. Pixur allows access over HTTP, WebDAV, gRPC, etc.
