Can anyone help with information about an open-source basic website for displaying images in directory (and subdirectories as browsing in them). Is there something like this for PHP on Github?
I do not wish to use some complex CMS with database, just display pictures from directories (and subdirectories) as a simple website.
I’ve used lychee before and it’s worked well. Although it’s not quite what I would want 100% from a gallery script, it’s not bad - and UI/UX is better than a lot of other PHP scripts IMO.
For something really snappy, I’m using https://github.com/maxvoltar/photo-stream . (Had to search for it… using this template for my own site since about a year now and it’s quite fast, not least because of BunnyCDN.)
Although it’s not really the type of script you were searching for.
30$ one-time fee but I can’t recommend Veno File Manager enough. You can (pre-)view image files in the browser by clicking on them iirc. But you can also try their live demo. No database required. Bought it in what?! 2015 on Codecanyon. Still gets updated and support and improves by the day
Veno, BeDrive and uCloud are interesting, but none of them have native clients (like NC and SeaFile) or even a protocol (like WebDAV or FTP) to access them through, only via browser. Kinda a deal breaker for most people.
Yes, FTP is a solution, but that is not what I asked for. The thing is that my kids have a very large collection of pictures. I want to put it all on a website (with restricted access like password protection in nginx, and encrypted partition) to be accessed only by my parents. It’s like a Christmas gift for them, because it’s more than a year since I’ve seen them face to face (pandemic restrictions).
So far I have a storage server from Servarica, and it would fit perfectly. I do not wish to use some Wordpress, and upload files through some plugins. I also do not wish to open FTP ports either. I want to keep it simple: a PHP script to display some images in a hierarchy of directories.
Not sure if this was in reply to me, but I would assume that the permissions and whatnot wouldn’t transfer over. That’s kinda the only issue I have with these solutions, otherwise BeDrive looks beautiful (it’s like Google Drive, but better). WebDAV or FTP, and I’m on my way.
And you can get 6TB for $100/year with OneDrive. If you’re selfhosting, you’ll probably make sacrifices somewhere, compared to commercial solutions. Besides, it’s 59 dollars for basically a lifetime license. Along with a BF Storage VPS like HostHatch, the cost might come to less than 10 dollars per month.
