Selfhosted Wallpaper Service (alien.top)

HI Guys,

I want to setup a wallpaper service for my extended family and friends. I am looking for a self-hosted server to host a bunch of wallpapers for desktops and mobiles. I will update the collection periodically.

Consumers can set up some apps or software at their end and choose my wallpaper service to dynamically refresh the wallpaper on their devices.

Has anyone come across any self-hosted service like this?

I use John's Background Switcher on my desktop.

It's great, can get wallpapers from many sources.
