CLUSTER PHOTO-HOSTED-SELF · 18 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2009-08-03

Self-hosted photo gallery apps

This cluster comprises self-hosted applications for storing, organizing, browsing, and sharing personal photos and videos, often as alternatives to cloud services. The dated history is thin, with two entries in 2009, one in 2015, and then single entries in 2021, 2022, two in 2023, one in 2025, and one in 2026-05, indicating sporadic development over more than a decade. The leading product on traction is family-gallery with 22 stars, followed by rvenvale with 13 stars.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
