What are leading solutions today for sharing on the Internet, via a web interface, photos and/or videos (streaming) and other resources from a home server?

  • Prefer minimum firewall intervention (homeside).
  • Prefer unique domains and IPs (For clients behind company firewalls).
  • Should work well for clients inside home network - pulling heavy resources locally.
  • Flexible sharing possibilities.

I would like to hear about solutions that are god for only videos, or only photos clips. I think now discontinued orb and Opera Unite could have been a good solutions (for streaming media).

  • Are you looking for a free solution? Or, are you willing to spend some money?

I believe using Google Drives sharing technology will more than fit your needs. You can make folders and share numerous properties of said folder to other people. They don't even need a Google Profile but it is suggested.

    I think the OP's point is not to have to upload his whole hard drives upfront.

  • What are you talking about Franck? I didn't say anything about backing up whole hard drives. Maybe you are not familiar with google drive. My intentions were uploading individual files.

  • I am not looking for a cloud solution. (Though you might call it "private cloud" - Tonido uses that term). This is because of the size of the data and also home LAN clients. The Internet web client interface of clouds are "good" though.

If you thought Tonido might be an answer, then you should look at OwnCloud.

This enables you to host your files locally or in a storage cloud and grant permission to users to access them from your home network or outside.

I believe it covers all your stated requirements.
