Chevereto Free VS PiGallery 2

I had somewhat of the same issue, and ended up using chevereto free. It has a very customizable web interface and supports user accounts. It saves pictures with thumbnails so you have to do some deleting when you want to take them elsewhere, but otherwise it works really well! Here is the link to the repo. Found this thread asking somewhat of the same question here

I've used this in the past: https://github.com/rodber/chevereto-free

Use the official Docker package: https://github.com/rodber/chevereto-free/pkgs/container/chevereto-free

wrong tool, check with https://github.com/rodber/chevereto-free or similiar

When you mention Chevereto I think that you meant the Chevereto-Free software (as you list only Open/Free Software in the comparison). That one has +2K stars :) and the repo you linked is for our container bootstrap dev standar (V3, V4) for our paid software. Chevereto-Free got Docker support recently, the package is here: https://github.com/rodber/chevereto-free/pkgs/container/chevereto-free

Note: The repo will be still available at https://github.com/chevereto/Chevereto-Free

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.
