nc-photos VS photoview

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.

Most lightweight one I've found so far: https://photoview.github.io/

I looked at a bunch of these 2 years ago and ended up using PhotoView for a private gallery. It had the right mix of simplicity and features, and I was actually able to get it running.

Take a look at Photoview: https://photoview.github.io/ . I think that it will fit all your needs (or at least, most all of them)

I use Photoview with Nextcloud, because I like its UI more than Nextcloud.

I can suggest 3 options. * Photoview - It is like a gallery with recursive folder structure (folders inside folders) support. You can create shareable links for the folders, with password protection. The UI is great. And your clients will be able to download the complete folder, also individual images at either full resolution or reduced. The issue is you cannot use the UI to add or delete photos, but it can be a great thing for security and stability. * Chevereto - It is more like imgur. You upload all the files using the UI and create albums and their sharable links. I do not think if it supports videos at all. * Nextcloud - Another great option if you want to give your clients a Google Drive or a Dropbox like experience. You can create custom links, like example .com/client-name, which can look more professional. For better videos experience you'll need hardware acceleration.

I have tried A LOT of solutions and I finally stopped after using Nextcloud and Photoview. I synchronise files from my computer to Nextcloud using rclone and view them on Photoview whenever I need. You can sync to you nextcloud using their official app on phone. I use Photoview because I have not found a single self-hosted solution that keeps the folder structure and lets me view them as both, in folder structures as well as in a chronological timeline.

Bl4ckB1s3ct0r gave the right answer - Photoprism and Immich can be considered as open-source alternatives of Google Photos. Another one is Photoview.
