Photoview
Photo gallery for self-hosted personal servers. You configure photoview to search for media directly from the file system. The media is then automatically organized based on the file structure, directories will become albums that are populated with the photos and videos found inside it. It will automatically rescan for new media and add it to keep it updated. This approach gives you the full control to organize your media how you want. Let it be using a file server like Samba or FTP, or even files from a Nextcloud instance. Multiple users can be configured, each with their own directory of photos and videos. Each user is configured with a username and password, to keep their media private. Albums and individual photos or videos can easily be shared by generating a public or password-protected link. When photos are analyzed for EXIF metadata, this information is displayed next to the photo.
