[Module] MMM-NextcloudPhotos — Fullscreen Nextcloud photo background with crossfade
-
Hey everyone! 👋
I built a module that displays photos from your Nextcloud server as a fullscreen MagicMirror² background with smooth crossfade transitions.
Key features:
- OAuth2 authentication (Nextcloud built-in, not third-party)
- Automatic token refresh — authenticate once, runs forever
- Smart image resizing with sharp — a 12MB photo becomes ~250KB
- Raspberry Pi 3 optimized (single-thread, memory-safe)
- Interactive setup script that guides you through everything
- Configurable interval, sync, opacity, display mode
I’m running it on a Raspberry Pi 3B+ and it handles large photos without freezing thanks to the sharp resize pipeline.

@bohemtucsok Hi, that sounds great! I have not tried it yet, but definitely will (might take a while to find that time)

@Eli Great :) Let me know what you think. There’s been a small update since then — it can now display not only the calendar but also the task list, and this can be configured optionally.
