Photoview

Photoview is a self-hosted photo gallery for photographers and families with media on a personal server or NAS. It lets you browse that collection in a web browser while keeping your existing folder organization.

• Folder-based albums: Directories become albums, and automatic rescans add new photos and videos to the library. You can continue managing files through Samba, FTP or Nextcloud.
• RAW and metadata: View common RAW formats through Darktable conversion and inspect EXIF details beside your photos. Photos with location coordinates also appear on a map, grouped by where they were taken.
• Face recognition: Automatic face detection groups photos of the same person so you can browse pictures by who appears in them.
• Users and sharing: Each user has access to their own media directory. Public links let you share albums, photos or videos with people who don't have an account, with optional password protection.
• Photo and video browsing: Generated thumbnails and loading images as they enter the screen help with large collections. FFmpeg prepares common video formats for browser playback, with optional hardware acceleration.

Photoview is free and open source under AGPL-3.0. It runs through Docker and on Linux platforms, including Unraid and TrueNAS, and supports ARM devices such as the Raspberry Pi. Media stays on your server. The official iOS app is no longer maintained or available in the App Store.
