In search of a DPAP photo server

26 Jan
2009

I’m trying very hard to research and find a good DPAP photo server, which could serve as a repository of photos accessible via iPhoto.  I see a lot of solutions like Firefly Media Server that work for iTunes media servers and I know that DPAP is based on DMAP, same as the DAAP which iTunes uses.  I have seen mention of DPAP on Firefly’s website, but not sure how this all works.  I can’t seem to find a good article that talks about setting up your own DPAP server.  Anyone know of one?  

I have found a couple Perl or Python scripts that seem to serve this, but not sure exactly how it all works…

So far, no luck on my end, but I am still trying to piece a solution together.

I’ve done some work on the latest fork of Firefly Media Server, and I’m pretty familiar with the DMAP protocols. I might put something like this together. What would you want a DPAP server to do, exactly?

Dmapd is an open source DAAP and DPAP server that runs on Linux and other POSIX systems. It may be used to provide content to iPhoto. The dmapd project is hosted at http://www.flyn.org/projects/dmapd/. The dmapd server uses libdmapsharing, a library that applications may use to provide DPAP (and DAAP & DACP) functionality directly. Libdmapsharing is available at http://www.flyn.org/projects/libdmapsharing/.
