Oh, if I had read further into the README I would have seen this:
> https://github.com/LycheeOrg/Lychee#build
> Lychee is ready to use, right out of the box. If you want to contribute and edit CSS or JS files, you need to rebuild https://github.com/LycheeOrg/Lychee-front.
So their JavaScript source code is in a separate "Lychee-front" repository and they commit the build artifacts into the main "Lychee" repo. Not sure why they would do this.
Have a look at https://photoprism.app/ then.
I think their actual multi-user story is somewhat lacking, but if you want a shared picture dump with some features that help sorting through a bunch of random images it should work well.
* They have the community version/premium model. Differentiators of premium (from https://photoprism.app/features):
Ente[0] is similar. Haven't tried it but looks promising. There's also Pixelfed[1] which isn't as private but great if you don't want to join the Instagram brigade.

I haven't tried PhotoPrism but I'll give it a whirl. In my case, I'm looking for the best way to enable multiple family members upload, tag, and effectively browse tens of thousands of photographs as we all continue digitizing family albums.
I'm currently using HomeGallery[0] behind Authelia[1] for authentication to view so many images effectively. For uploading, I'd been using Nextcloud but it began to noticeably lag after a few thousand images. I switched to FileRun[2] with symlink'd photo directories and a user for each family.
With HomeGallery, I get the desired performance on mobile devices with de-duplication and tagging. My instance is detecting objects fine, but I owe it troubleshooting time to figure out face recognition. The "similar images" feature can be fun with so many photos. A nice tagging modal on keybind per-image would be a nice-to-have.
Using FileRun for uploads works fine, but I also needed a continuous cron job for docker exec to generate any missing thumbnails.

After trying few alternatives, I'm using https://github.com/bpatrik/pigallery2
- extremely fast. I'm using it with my 70 000+ photos. Scanning is ~10x faster, then with PhotoPrism, and it works even without scanning.
- It just works off file system. DB used only for cache.
- it uses file folders structure - no timeline
I considered Lychee but went for Photoview [1] for internal exploration of my photos [1], which follows the 4-facets principle (who, what, when, where). There's a map (where), an album view (what), face recognition (who), and a timeline (when). All of these make it pretty convenient for different purposes. It is also folder-based and I set it up in read-only mode, so Photoview doesn't modify my files or structures.
