Static Photo gallery

Hi,

Does anyone know of a static photo gallery similar to MinigalNano GitHub - sebsauvage/MinigalNano ?

I use MinigalNano in a My webapp folder and love it but since I upgraded to YH 12 thumbnails aren’t generated anymore…

Thank you.

Oh, it hasn’t been updated since 8 years.
I had a look at a demo site (that is still running), it looks very similar to lychee with some config adjustments but with swipe support (for mobile).
The github repo talks about php5.

Here is a list of good alternatives :

Have a look at them, they have demos. And tell us which one is good for your case and if you really love it why not packaging it

@Knah-Tsaeb on Github GitHub - sebsauvage/MinigalNano solved my problem, I had to install php-gd to generate the thumbnails.

So I will keep MinigalNano as I can’t find a good replacement and I like it, simple.

I used a similar setup with the gallery exported as static HTML from my home server, then synced the output folder to YunoHost’s /var/www, and it worked fine that way.

I had a need to share albums via static sites, and I recently open-sourced the code I built:

  • Search for GitHub dougdonohoe/ddphotos

There is a Go program which resizes the images and a SvelteKit-based frontend for viewing the albums. See the GitHub site above for all the technical details.

It can be hosted behind nginx and Apache (the code has demonstrations of how to do this via Docker). All you have to do is sync to the html root dir - thedeploy-photos.shcan be used to do this if you have ssh setup, otherwise it’s a good example of what files to copy (two rsync’s).

I’ve been looking for a lightweight way to host some photos without the overhead of a massive database-driven app, so a static generator like Pigallery2 or Thumb-or-Export sounds like exactly the right balance. It’s much more appealing to just have something fast and simple that doesn’t eat up resources.
