What This week in past actually does
This week in past is a self-hosted web application that surfaces historical photographs taken during the current calendar week in previous years. It displays these archival images through a straightforward slideshow interface on a simple web page. The software is written in Rust and distributed via Docker under the MIT licence.
Best fit: It suits anyone wanting to resurface personal photography archives automatically based on the calendar date without relying on commercial cloud platforms.
Worth knowing: With a modest community and repository footprint, you may encounter edge cases or lack integration with wider photo management ecosystems.
Deployment notes
As a Docker container, you will typically need to mount a persistent volume pointing to your image directory and place it behind a reverse proxy for TLS termination.
