PiGallery2 - Best Google Photos Replacement (Subjectively)
-
One of the best replacement for Google Photos and generally a great photo gallery software is PiGallery2.
OpenSource, Docker-based, Fast and minimalisticThe gallery is a directory first gallery. It renders your directory structure as it is. Creates thumbnails on the fly. Can be run without any database but support sqlite and MySQL databases too.
Features:
Photo viewer
Nice photo viewer with optional information panel that shows all important information about the photo.
Map
PiGallery2 reads the location data of the photos and puts them on a nice map. The gallery also supports *.gps file to show your tracked path on the map too. It by default supports OpenStreetMap and Mapbox, but you can also add you own favourite map provider.
Advanced searching
App supports full boolean logic with negation and exact or wildcard search. It also provides handy suggestions with autocomplete.
Sharing
You can share your photo folders with your friends. The sharing link can be also password protected.
Video playback
It also supports *.mp4, *.webm, *.ogv and *.ogg files.https://bpatrik.github.io/pigallery2/

Be great to have this. There is a severe lack of decent gallery apps on Cloudron. Lychee is rubbish imho.

No idea, but HTTPS links are good practice all round.
