homer-theme VS photoview

I'm new to self-hosting, and I've stumbled upon Homer which seems like a good tool. However, it's real tedius to go through editing the config file VIM based constantly.

Would love to see y'alls homepages with custom CSS integrated! I've see some cool/clean designs and would love for other to share! The homepage Im referring to is https://github.com/bastienwirtz/homer

However, lately I've been driven to insanity trying to set up a homer dashboard without Docker, using nginx. I have pretty minimal experience with hosting in general so I'm not sure how much of my problem is from misunderstanding nginx vs. misunderstanding nixos.

Homer supports multiple pages (like tabs), so you could perhaps set up different pages/tabs for the separate interests.

Hi r/selfhosted! I was wondering if there was any sort of plugin for Homer that sets up a login screen. I've tried looking on GitHub but the terms "homer lock" and "homer login" doesn't warrant results for the plugin I am looking for.

Ohh you got a lot of options here. My personal favorite is Dashy, which is the most feature-rich of all and has powerful theming options. There's also Heimdall and Organizr, which seem to be popular with the community. Homer is another option. That's not a definitive list

Or https://github.com/bastienwirtz/homer 😜

homer, homepage, homarr are some of the famous ones. You can find more here.

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.
