Hello /g/
I'm building a small digital archive of old family documents, to be eventually passed on later.
It will mostly be comprised of text documents and scans of old family documents and pictures.
I already have more or less everything I need to do it. I was just looking for opinions from other people, maybe people who've done this sort of work before. What should I expect/What should I use/Recommended software. Ideas like that.
Any insights? Many thanks in advance.

Oh, you should make a few backups while you're at it.

I was thinking Debian stable would be the obvious choice here, it's what I'm going with for now.

Take a look at git-archive ; it does a very nice job of keeping track of multiple copies of documents, and can handle external repos on S3, glacier, or Google Nearline.

that's fine, but you'll probably wanna set it up for easy access from other locations with a 777 folder so senpai can upload shit for you to put where it goes but don't give them permissions to any other folders other than read, so they can't screw around and delete shit because they get a hair up their ass or they think they look fat/ugly in that one picture that's the only one of them with grandpa

also attention to detail when sorting stuff is critical if you don't want to have half a dozen copies of some random files. for photos, some sort of booru or tagging system is more preferable than just folder sorting because you can use multiple tags without having multiple copies of the same file

How do you plan to store everything for the long term?

Not op here, but M-Disk's are good for long term backup.
just setup a web server and file server. build your index and backup to a local drive?
