Directory-first photo gallery website PiGallery2

What is PiGallery2?

PiGallery2is a fast directory-first photo gallery website with a rich user interface optimized for running on low-resource servers (especially Raspberry Pi)

The so-called directory priority means that the design of this kind of website is to display different directories (or folders) as the main function, rather than to display individual photos or other content.

If you don’t want to build it yourself, you can go to the official experience site: https://pigallery2.onrender.com/

Open a picture

The function is very simple and practical. There are no functions such as library changes (photo deletion, rotation, enhancement, marking, organization). According to the official instructions, it is optimized for the library containing < 100Kphotos and < 5kphotos/folders. The more pictures you add, the faster it will start to slow down.
