PiGallery 2 VS self-hosted-cookbook

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.

Here's a guide: https://github.com/tborychowski/self-hosted-cookbook/blob/master/apps/reverse-proxy-sso/authelia.md

If you run docker there are several programs to try here: https://github.com/tborychowski/self-hosted-cookbook/blob/master/apps/photos/comparison.md

have a look at my quickstart tutorial. Maybe it will help.

I've added notea to my cookbook just now. The process is not too complex, once you figure the kinks! :-)

Why is it so light on content? Its not that people are not sharing info or anything: https://github.com/tborychowski/self-hosted-cookbook

After testing a lot of them I ended up with pigallery2. This works best for me.
