Formatting support in the Little Backup Box export tools has been improved. Telegram, Matrix, Mastodon, and Bluesky now receive cleaner and more consistent text output, including better handling of line breaks, basic emphasis, and links.

Details are available here: https://github.com/outdoorbits/little-backup-box #LittleBackupBox #Update #Telegram #Matrix #Mastodon #Bluesky #opensource #Photography #LBB #RaspberryPi #BackupTool 21.11.2025 19:27:27

Little Backup Box just got a major upgrade: You can now automatically post to **Matrix**, in addition to **Mastodon**, **Bluesky**, and **Telegram**. Setting up access credentials for all supported platforms is simple: just open the **Web UI**, enter your account details, and you’re ready to go.

A more detailed walkthrough is available in the Wiki: [https://github.com/outdoorbits/little-backup-box/wiki](https://github.com/outdoorbits/little-backup-box/wiki) Inside the built-in **image viewer**, you can mark photos, videos, and text for posting to any configured social media platform.

Images can also be enriched with descriptions, which get included in the final post. Posting works just like performing a backup: open the **Backup** page in the Web UI, choose your **source** and **destination**, and the content is published instantly.

A small tool designed for field backup now doubles as a compact social-media publishing machine - straight from your camera, phone, or SSD to the world. https://github.com/outdoorbits/little-backup-box

**Overhauled Password Management** Password handling has been fundamentally improved. LBB now supports **special characters** in passwords - including **quotes**. This makes WiFi access more secure and far more flexible than before. Feedback and contributions are always welcome!

**Little Backup Box Update** [https://github.com/outdoorbits/little-backup-box](https://github.com/outdoorbits/little-backup-box) The latest update brings two major improvements:

**WiFi QR Code on the Display** Little Backup Box can now show a WiFi QR code directly on its screen - including the WiFi password. When LBB is running in **hotspot mode**, any device can join the hotspot instantly by scanning the QR code. No typing, no errors, just connect. 15.11.2025 16:14:08

Part 1 of 5 — Intro Here’s my photo backup & publishing workflow with Little Backup Box (LBB) — from automatic backups to photo review and posting. Full process below #Photography #SelfHosted #Backup #Workflow #LittleBackupBox

Part 2 of 5 I first plug in the SSD (target), then power on my Little Backup Box (LBB). After boot, I connect all cameras, phones, and card readers with memory cards via a USB hub. The automatic "any USB" → "USB" backup starts right away (as set in web UI). #Photography #Backup #LittleBackupBox

Part 3 of 5 My LBB first copies all connected devices to the SSD. Then it runs a cloud backup "USB" → "sFTP" (as configured in web UI)). Previews are generated meanwhile. Local copy takes minutes; cloud upload can last all night. #OpenSource #Automation #Photography #LittleBackupBox

Part 4 of 5 When I’ve got time, I disable auto cloud backup. Then at first I review and rate photos via the LBB web UI on my phone — ratings sync with darktable. At the same time I mark favorites for Mastodon, Bluesky and Telegram, publish them, then start the cloud backup manually. #Photography

Part 5 of 5 Uploaded images are automatically sorted by a script and imported into Piwigo for browsing and sharing. #Photography #SelfHosted #Backup #Automation #Piwigo #LittleBackupBox

Little Backup Box runs on almost any Raspberry Pi - from a tiny Pi Zero 2 W up to Pi 4 or 5 - in a regular case. A display is useful, but everything can also be controlled through the web interface from your smartphone. github.com/outdoorbits/... #opensource #raspberrypi #backup #photography #linux

I’d like to introduce Little Backup Box — an open-source tool that turns any Raspberry Pi into an automatic photo-backup station. It saves to local drives or cloud services and can even post directly to Mastodon, Bluesky & Telegram. 👉 github.com/outdoorbits/...

05.10.2025 16:26:28 Dense cluster of gilled fungi on forest floor, with ochre to yellow-brown caps and pale stipes. Morphology suggests *Hypholoma* (sulphur tuft group). Several species in this group are toxic, making accurate identification essential. 🍄🌲 #Mycology #Fungi #Mushrooms #Hypholo...

05.10.2025 14:58:49 Purple-capped brittlegill (*Russula* sp.) on mossy pine forest floor. Characterized by brittle stipe and fragile gills. Likely *Russula amethystina* or similar. Species ID requires spore print and taste test; edibility varies, caution advised. 🍄 #Mycology #Russula #Fungi ...

05.10.2025 14:38:49 Porcelain fungus (*Oudemansiella mucida*) on decaying beech wood, with translucent white caps and slimy surface. A striking saprotroph, key in wood decay and nutrient cycling. Though edible after cooking, it’s slippery and not widely collected. 🍄 #Mycology #Fungi #Mushroo...

05.10.2025 14:24:46 Brown-capped brittlegill (*Russula* sp.) with stout white stipe and mossy forest habitat. Likely one of the ochre-capped Russulas, but exact species requires spore print, taste (mild vs. acrid), and microscopic study. Edibility varies, caution essential. 🍄 #Mycology #Russ...
