MediaGoblin 0.7.0: Time Traveler's Delight Released

Apparently the Sandstorm team [1] recently ported MediaGoblin over, so this is particularly exciting. It looks like the big addition is that they&#x27;re paving the path for federation, so soon there could well be an <i>actually</i> decentralized media sharing system...<p>[1] Sandstorm is an app sandboxing environment conceived by the designer of Protobuf&#x2F;Cap&#x27;nProto; as an aside, the IndieGogo for Sandstorm is nearly funded, but ends in only 5 days... it was on HN recently, but otherwise, <a href="http://sandstorm.io" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;sandstorm.io</a>

Does anyone have experience with running a public mediagoblin? I am not too experienced with Django, but I did some minor, private stuff with it.<p>My problem are registrations of bots (not sure about the intention). There is a recaptcha plugin and I got it running, but it uses its own routes and also has some minor bugs (always showing the required registration data in red).<p>Of course I could have my web server always redirect the routes, but this seems like a hack and doesn&#x27;t fix the issue. For now I had to turn registrations off.<p>Are there better ways?<p>Mentioned Plugin: <a href="https://github.com/ayleph/mediagoblin-recaptcha" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;ayleph&#x2F;mediagoblin-recaptcha</a>

Great job MediaGoblin team!<p>As a side note, this looks like this project could use a little love from the community:<p><a href="https://github.com/vky/docker-mediagoblin" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;vky&#x2F;docker-mediagoblin</a>

MediaGoblin is my best bet for my so far open requirement: Have a digital version of the picture books our parents kept for us.<p>I need ACLs (share everything with tag &#x27;kids&#x27; with my parents and in-laws for example), a decent presentation, and lots of ways to add metadata to content. MediaGoblin might be the solution, soon.

Those interested in MediaGoblin might also find Trovebox interesting.<p><a href="https://github.com/photo" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;photo</a> <a href="http://trovebox.com/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;trovebox.com&#x2F;</a><p>I just hope they are talking to each other to share their federation. Would be dumb not to.
