A web app for sorting self-hosted photos and videos
A web tool is needed for collecting inspiration files such as photos, videos, and in one place, then organizing them with folders, tags, and notes. Eagle.cool works locally on one computer, but it does not solve remote web access and its folder structure can become messy. Immich is usable, but it is already being used for personal photos, so switching between separate libraries would add friction.
Stash has some useful media features, but its adult-content-focused structure does not fit this need. Pinry is no longer actively updated and lacks folder support. Karakeep does not support video, which rules it out.
The needed setup is installation through , management in Portainer, on a NAS, folders and subfolders, annotations, tags, a web UI, and through Nginx. Video preview thumbnails would be a useful extra.
Key points
- The goal is a web library for photos, videos, and .
- Required features include folders, subfolders, annotations, tags, a web UI, and .
- The app should install with and be manageable in Portainer.
- Media files should live on a NAS rather than only inside the app.
- Immich, Stash, Pinry, and Karakeep each miss part of the needed workflow.
