hi. i’m looking for an extremely simple selfhosted photo gallery software. i have photos from my laptop, a camera, and my phone. they are all rsync’ed onto my server. so on the server I have ~/Pictures/Laptop ~/Pictures/Camera ~/Pictures/Phone filled with JPEG/PNG/HEICs and no subdirectories.

i want to view photos from all three directories on a single timeline/feed, from the web (and if possible, via a mobile app). currently I VNC onto the server to run XnView and check each directory and this is a terrible user experience especially on a phone.

i don’t want to run a separate database or anything complex, so things like Immich or Photoprism are not an option. would be nice to be able to assign a tag to some images (“work”, “computer”, …) but it’s not a necessity. and i don’t need the ability to edit/remove images from the gallery.

i’ve considered rolling my own solution but thought there might be something already available.

thanks!

    because i don’t want to use podman/docker? if you read the OP and the rest of the thread you wouldn’t have posted this comment…

      I read the OP which is why I asked the question, not the entire thread just to figure out that you don’t want to use containers.

      I don’t think you are in the wrong here. You clearly stated your wants and so many replies here have simply ignored what you have said. The response to your post has been strange

        i’m starting to think these people either don’t read the post body and only the title. or they’re bots? lol.

        really don’t get it. they’re probably not paid to shill immich or something…
