photoprism-mobile VS PiGallery 2

The maintainers are only taking responsibility for the PWA, but there is a mobile app out there which depends on the backend code waiting for review in https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism/pull/995 . You can use the temporarily forked version of photoprism with the necessary backend API changes and use the mobile app just fine.

So, from what I can find during my 2am browse because my son woke up, I think photoprism is what I'm looking for. There's also a community built app here

PhotoPrism (version 2): Mobile App for PhotoPrism

i've been playing with photoprism (seems to meet all your requirements) in docker for a while. as i've seen your comment i searched for a mobile app, apparently there is one: https://github.com/thielepaul/photoprism-mobile i'll probably try it at some point.

You may want to clarify what having an app means. There is a native app for photoprism, for both Android and iOS. It's just not "official". The table implies there's none at all.

I want to host photoprism on a computer in my house, and be able to access the files on my phone via the photoprism flutter app here. do i need to setup a reverse proxy like the warning states, or can i use it for my purposes without having it transmit my files in plain readable form?

The native app is community maintained. Feel free to open an issue here: https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism-mobile/issues

If you want to view photoprism in mobile, the browser does an okay job, but if you want a dedicated app for it, the mobile app curently seems to be incompatible with the latest version of photoprism.

You also might be interested in trying the community maintained app: https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism-mobile

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.

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.
