Simple, One Image Web Page

Hi All!

The end goal here is to print QR code Christmas present tags that when
scanned direct the person to a very simple page that just displays one
image (per page, one page for each person). Before Christmas Eve, the
image will be something generic, but on Christmas morning it will be
the appropriate person's name (I will swap the image on Christmas Eve,
no need for fancy date recognition or anything).

I am sure this is a very simple job, but I am clearly not searching
for the appropriate key words/tricky phrases to make my search results
yield what I need. Just looking for instructions for how to create and
self-host this, it only needs to be accessible on my local
network...super simple.

Can anyone direct me to a guide or guides that will give me an idea of
not just how to setup apache, mariaDB, etc, but then what to do to
actually display something on the page?

Thanks!

Any webserver.

1. Install web server software.
2. Save images to the web server root directory.
3. Create QR codes linking to http://webserver/image.jpg

Use github or cloudflare pages if you don't want to buy a domain

That’s about it!
In the spirit of docker/selfhosted:

    mkdir myapp && cd myapp
    docker run -dit --name myapp -p 8080:80 -v
"$PWD":/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/ httpd:2.4
    wget https://sp-ao.shortpixel.ai/client/to_auto,q_glossy,ret_img,w
_780,h_520/https://www.labradortraininghq.com/wp-

Your server is up, now just find a free QR code generator online and
put in the url for your machine, for example:

    http://192.168.0.100/dog.jpg

Done.
