The Mapshot mod includes a server feature, but it's primarily intended for viewing your own screenshots, making it less suitable for sharing them with others. Alternatively, if all you want to do is make your screenshots publicly available, you can upload them to Amazon S3 and serve them through CloudFront. However, doing so requires some technical knowledge.
To address this, I created a website where users can upload and share screenshots generated with Mapshot.
Feel free to give it a try. => https://pasta-atlas.layer8.works
I built a website to share captures taken using the Mapshot MOD
Re: I built a website to share captures taken using the Mapshot MOD
I played with that idea aswell, but I'm not a web dev.
I tried to upload a map, but got a 504 error after some time.
I wonder if it is even possible to upload a mid (2GB) or endgame(6GB) mapshot folder with ~10k+ files.
Even with FTP to my local Server it takes an immense amount of time.

I haven't lost my mind, it's backed up on tape somewhere.
Re: I built a website to share captures taken using the Mapshot MOD
Inspired from the website, I created a mapshot for my base, wasn't satisfied with the default resolution (unable to see what modules are in the machines) and created one with better settings that resulted in 13 GB map data. Manual upload with scp to my personal webserver took 2 hours.
It's difficult to create a free public service to allow uploading this much data from unknown sources unfortunately.
