  I really don’t want another complex service i have to manage. ideally i want something that’s a simple python/perl/php script or something like that.

    I hear you, I went through the same journey. After getting Immich set up, I haven’t had to do a single thing to it. There are scripts that can turn your folders into Immich albums, so I just set up the docker containers, ran the script, and watched as everything was created for me without more labor on my part.

    I hope somebody else has the solution you’re looking for, but if you don’t find it, I really think you should give it a whirl because it turned out to be way easier than I expected it to be.

    Immich isn’t complex, and I don’t think it requires a separate database.

    You’re likely not going to find something so simple and lightweight. Immich has some setup, but if you want a good gallery that’s the way to go. Don’t be afraid of the learning.

    It does nothing but serve photo. Background tasks are minimal and many of them only run once on new photos.

      I prefer #copyparty as an allrounder for serving static files (images and videos from my smartphone) - https://github.com/9001/copyparty
      Uploading from my smartphone via #nextcloud on iOS into a shared folder for NC and CP 🤓

        OK? By all means, use what works for you.

        I personally wouldn’t go around using copy party’s initials liberally like that.
