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?

Have you looked into nextcloud or photoprism?

I use next cloud. But how to.make it available as wallpaper service so
that in a device it can automatically change the wallpaper from a
nextcloud folder. Are their any apps which could help doing this.

That's my mistake. I overlooked your need for a dynamic wallpaper

I use John's Background Switcher on my desktop.

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

If you're using nextcloud, you can take a look at [Les
Pas](https://github.com/scubajeff/lespas#readme), works together with
another app Muzei to bring dynamic wallpaper to Android desktop, and
even "Today in history" too.
