random image on login screen (without external app S... | nextcloud/unsplash

Years ago i used the app Splash with random images from https://unsplash.com . An API key is now required and it is also bad if content is loaded outside of your own Nextcloud. Keyword GDPR. Also, as is currently the case, the latest version is repeatedly not supported

I would like to see Nextcloud's design expanded so that images from a folder could be randomly selected as background images. These could then be replaced at regular intervals (e.g. 4 seconds) on login screen while not logged in.

I have written a programme that uses PHP and JavaScript to randomly read images from a folder (.) and display them as a full screen. Maybe you can build something like this into Nextcloud. I would be very happy about that.

For testing use a webserver outside Nextcloud. Copy the file index.php and some pictures in the folder.

index.php

<?php
function getRandomImage() {
    $images = glob("*.{jpg,JPG,jpeg,JPEG,png,PNG,gif,GIF}", GLOB_BRACE);
    return !empty($images) ? $bilder[array_rand($images)] : null;
}

function getAllImages() {
    return glob("*.{jpg,JPG,jpeg,JPEG,png,PNG,gif,GIF}", GLOB_BRACE);
}

function serveImage($filename) {
    if (file_exists($filename)) {
        $ext = pathinfo($filename, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
        $mime = [
            'jpg' => 'image/jpeg',
            'jpeg' => 'image/jpeg',
            'png' => 'image/png',
            'gif' => 'image/gif'
        ];
        
        header("Content-Type: " . ($mime[strtolower($ext)] ?? 'application/octet-stream'));
        header("Cache-Control: public, max-age=31536000"); // Cache für ein Jahr
        readfile($filename);
        exit;
    }
}

if (isset($_GET['img'])) {
    serveImage($_GET['img']);
}

if (isset($_GET['getImages'])) {
    header("Content-Type: application/json");
    header("Cache-Control: public, max-age=3600"); // Cache für eine Stunde
    echo json_encode(getAllImages());
    exit;
}
?>
