My new motion setup stores all recorded files to the
default /var/lib/motion
I can access this via a standard lighttpd by matking that dir the
document root etc, but the oresentation is not nice
I don't want to install a full streaming/media server, esp DLNA etc
but is there a lighttpd or apache config (possibly including PHP)
which would present the videos in a more userfriendly manner,
ie using the saved 'best' saved image file as thumbnail, sort
by time etc?
I think that might require modifying the image file names, but that
should be no issue
Is there also an easy way to make motion save the videos in a
subdir per day? Currently I have a script that runs daily
at 00:01 to move them, but motion natively creating subdirs and
using them for new files (which then showed up in said web interface)
would be nice
Finally what would one use to upload recorded files
(as soon as possible) to
a) oneDrive
b) a synology NAS
and has someone worked out how to0 make the motion
recorded videos directly available to Synology's
Surveillance app?
thanks

There is a project (motionEye) that uses libmicrohttpd12 for web services,
has a full WebGUI and is a wrapper for motion-project. It is written in
Python. Now for the bad news: It's in Python2.7, and the owner just put it
on hold and is looking for someone to take it over. I do a lot of the
active tech support for it. It and its source code can be found here:

I used to run a light http server using python. Basically:
python3 -m http.server
Then open the webserver on port 8080. So 192.168.1.n:8080, if accessing
remotely or 127.0.0.1:8080, if accessing locally
