PiGallery2 turns any mounted folder of images and home videos into a high-speed web gallery without modifying your raw files or forcing migration into a database silo. The server scans directories in read-only mode, keeping folder structures intact while generating responsive previews with hardware-accelerated Sharp processing. Users can inspect detailed camera EXIF metadata, toggle custom full-screen lightboxes with swipe gesture navigation, and stream high-definition MP4 or WebM video clips. Embedded GPS coordinates automatically pin photos onto interactive OpenStreetMap or Mapbox views, allowing travel albums to display alongside synchronized GPX track routes. Powerful boolean search expressions filter across dates, keywords, camera models, and Adobe XMP face regions without requiring expensive background machine learning models. Built-in link sharing creates password-protected access links with custom expiration dates for friends and family. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

Pictaria Server sits beside your Immich instance and makes a photo library of thirty thousand images legible again, surfacing the trips, people, and best shots buried under duplicate bursts and forgotten folders. It starts with Insights: a clickable timeline of your years, detected trips, a people constellation linked by who appears together, place and camera rankings, and records like your busiest day. Click any number and you land on the actual photos, ready to open in Immich, turn into an album, or send onward. Enrich puts an AI to work describing what it sees, writing captions, menu-driven tags, and quality scores for every photo using a local model through Ollama or LM Studio, or a cloud provider with your own key, on a scheduled daily budget. Those tags can sync back into Immich, so searching improves everywhere, not just here. Curate then collapses bursts and near-duplicates into stacks with a suggested keeper, and one keystroke keeps the best and skips the rest. Smart Albums compose rules from people, places, dates, cameras, and tags, preview the result count, and maintain real Immich albums on a schedule. Frame owners get remote control, display metrics, and voice photo questions, while the Activity feed and runtime-editable Settings keep the whole box manageable from the browser. It connects with a limited-permissions API key and cannot delete a single photo.
