HomeGallery

HomeGallery is a self‑hosted web gallery that lets users browse personal photos and videos stored on local directories. It preserves the original folder hierarchy while presenting the media through a responsive interface that works on desktop and mobile browsers. The software runs on Linux, macOS, Windows, or as a Docker container, and is distributed under the MIT license.

The gallery supports tagging, face recognition, and AI‑powered image similarity search, allowing users to locate pictures by content, faces, or geographic metadata extracted from GPS tags. Search expressions are flexible and designed to be fast, enabling users to filter media by custom criteria.

Targeted at individuals who want to keep their media private and avoid cloud services, HomeGallery is open source, free to use, and does not require a subscription. It is intended for users comfortable with command‑line setup or Docker, and can serve a single user’s collection from multiple source directories.
