nc-photos VS PiGallery 2

Try Photos NC https://gitlab.com/nkming2/nc-photos

Thank you, for all your work. It is amazing. I have one little suggestion though. Would it be possible to have it more connected with the Photos for Nextcloud (https://gitlab.com/nkming2/nc-photos) app? For example if your favourite images were the same in both apps. I believe a lot of people use Memories on web and Photos on Android, so it would be amazing to have it sync together. Thanks

Alternatively, there's also an Android app (but all the indexing is done on the phone, so it can be a bit slower)

I use the same setup and for a similar photo viewing experience on mobile I use ncphotos

I recently found nc-photos [1] which also aims to reproduce the Google Photos UX. It does its own indexing so it is a bit faster than the Nextcloud Photo Gallery but probably way slower than Photoprism. The main advantage of nc-photos is that no software installation on your server is required. It just works as a mobile app.

I was suggested ncphotos and so far it has been amazing and very simple to setup, you will however have to use Nextcloud and log in which doesn’t meet some of your requirements, through some configuration it can do face recognition and preview generation however.

If you want something easy to deploy, zero maintenance (almost) and with a tiny footprint I can't recommend PiGallery [1] enough. Also good mobile support.

I tried some of the fancy alternatives here suggested, but they insist in doing it their way. PiGallery just displays your folder structure as Albums, simple as that, whereas others like Photoprism keep ruminating in the background doing their AI, which I personally don't need.

Pair that with a good backup strategy with e.g. restic and you're ready to fly.

https://github.com/bpatrik/pigallery2 very fast and lightweight. Only an image gallery

Also check out PiGallery for a more light weight solution https://github.com/bpatrik/pigallery2 (with less features of course, but it may work if you only want an online gallery)

If you're familiar with Docker, PiGallery2 would work perfectly for this.

This is what you need: https://github.com/bpatrik/pigallery2

I'd also consider Pigallery2. It's maybe not as powerful as Photoprism, but it is very fast, lighweight and integrates quite well with the exiting image metadata (keywords and faces). It's a web interface, but it works quite well on mobile and the search option is powerful.
