Custardcream.cam

I quite like dew-lumen-shell

The Custard Cream Camera is backed by the Custard Cream server, which you can find at: https://custardcream.cam/ The camera has a “publish” command that sends pictures to the server for the whole world wide internet to scrape.

You find pictures by their unique three word address or you can just view random shots. The really interesting thing about this server is that it is running on my desk. I’m using a Raspberry Pi 5 to host everything. It’s connected via a Cloudflared connection which does all the clever mapping between the domain name (custardcream.cam) and the node.js application that hosts the site.

It really is very easy (and surprisingly cheap) to get a web presence using a tiny computer you might already own and a little bit of configuration.
