So here’s my situation. I’ve been looking for a long time for a self-hosted photo library. I have pretty low requirements: I just want it to be able to show the videos and images I have stored on my NAS in a random order, and to support a slideshow of those files, also in a random order.
I thought I had finally found what I was looking for with PiGallery2 – it supports a hidden file that triggers the random order sorting – but it’s not stable. It works for a while and then takes ages and ages to refresh the album.
Synology Photos would have been perfect, but it can’t randomize!
Any suggestions? I’m looking to host this on Debian.
