Good day everyone, this post is mostly soemthing im trying to look into. So ill try to be as clear and descriptive as possible.

I, like many of you out there have a sizable collection of sfw and nsfw media and its is desperate need of some kind of organization. However i just dont have the time to dedicate to doing so considering it grows daily.
Since ive been on e6 and like sites i noticed that when i upload any content, it attempts to create tags based on what it pulls from the respective media, and then you add the rest.
Without have to resort to basically creating an offline e6 equivalent. And trying to learn web design and maintenance, i was hoping someone knew of some software that could be run, not only to help organize based on tags it sees but tags i add to it. Ontop of checking periodically for duplicate files so im not accidentally downloading the same media 25 times without realizing it.
Can anyone offer some advice?

I mean, if you want an offline e6 equivalent, you can totally have one. It's open source.

hydrus network probably comes the closest to what you're looking for.

True thanks, as stated in the message i have no experience in web dev and mostly trying to set it up and let it run with few tweaks. Think smarter not harder. However the below comment also popped up on reddit. And i think ill give it a shot

Had another on reddit comment with the same. Thanks

A neat concept with such programs is that if another user of it has already downloaded it, then you could in theory request it automatically from them, instead. Hmm, I wonder if there's signed open-source CDNs that you know the original server provided it, to prevent abuse. Bit Torrent has hashes to prevent altering/replacing files, too. I need to setup my server with Hydrus... I haven't tried it yet, but I'm pretty sure that it has something like that?
