## Description

Zusam lets you run your own private social space for friends and family. A PHP/Symfony backend serves a REST API backed by SQLite, while a Preact frontend provides the web interface. Members can post messages, upload photos and videos, and share links that automatically expand into previews for major media sites. Albums organize images, and any message can get a public share link. The UI works well on phones and tablets. You can deploy via Docker, Docker Compose, or manually on Debian with nginx or Apache. Licensed AGPL-3.0; still pre-1.0 so upgrades may break things.
