Photoview

Photoview is a simple and user-friendly photo gallery that's made for photographers and aims to provide an easy and fast way to navigate directories, with thousands of high-resolution photos.

You configure Photoview to look for photos and videos within a directory on your file system. The scanner automatically picks up your media and starts to generate thumbnail images to make browsing super fast.

When your media has been scanned, they show up on the website, organised in the same way as on the filesystem.

We switched to PostgreSQL 18 on the master branch. PostgreSQL 18 will be the default recommended version for the next release (PostgreSQL 17 remains supported). If you follow master, please check the official PostgreSQL upgrade guide, and:

• For Docker users: please update your docker-compose.yml to match docker-compose.example.yml.
• Please pay attention to the DB volume mount point change inside the container: starting from version 18, the DB is mounted to the /var/lib/postgresql, while in earlier versions it was the /var/lib/postgresql/data.
• For direct host installations or external/shared PostgreSQL instances: please upgrade your PostgreSQL server and database manually t
