Hey everyone, would really appreciate some ideas on image + video gallery options.
We have a bunch of personal photos and videos taken over the years, and since we don’t want them on cloud providers, right now they are just a bunch of folders on a local share. We do actually enjoy going through them, but browsing a directory isn’t the most fun experience.
Something that had a nice photo/video browser, maybe albums, a slideshow option (maybe with shuffling?), and tags would be great. I’d like to not have to duplicate the images into yet-another-storage-location, so something that can just pull from that share would be great. Backups are also already handled, so not a factor here.
I’ve tried Stash, but thats more oriented toward the adult industry, so it requires a lot of manual intervention.
Ive never tried Immich, but it seems like a lot for this scenario. Maybe I’m wrong though, let me know.
This will never be available anywhere outside of our home (well aside from a WG connection back to our home), so I don’t care about sharing links or any of that kind of stuff. Media is mostly jpg with some Canon and Fuji raws, h264 and h265 videos.
Let me hear your recommendations for open source, locally hosted, no cloud personal media enjoyment!
https://github.com/bpatrik/pigallery2 is something I have moved to from Immich, but actually only because Immich didn’t let my HDD go to sleep anymore. I do like it though, it is a bit simpler.
Just wanted to add, pigallery2 is quick and looks pretty good
I’m standing up immich alongside for comparison (have to do a bit of extra before I can deploy), but pigallery is fast, easy and works - which are all easier said than done!
Awesome, thanks for the rec I’ll check it out!
