I just checked and there is a bug is the details : it's not 103.36GB, it's 103 360 000kB. Instead of dividing by `1024*1024`, it has been divided by `1000*1000`. `103360000/(1024*1024) = 98,57177734`. We're going to fix that.

Hello I've installed Piwigo 13.7.0 on my server. after finishing the database and user setup i get a white site with the following errors/warnings ``` Warning: Undefined array key "modus_theme" in /var/www/clients/client1/web3/web/share/themes/modus/themeconf.inc.php on line 28 Warning: Trying to access array offset on value of type null in /var/www/clients/client1/web3/web/share/themes/modus/themeconf.inc.php on line 28 Warning: include(/var/www/clients/client1/web3/web/share/themes/modus/skins/.inc.php): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/clients/client1/web3/web/share/themes/modus/themeconf.inc.php on line 28 Warning: include(): Failed opening '

I'm a photographer shooting for a utility contractor. We do work in the power and gas industry and then tons of varying work under those two umbrellas, transmission, distribution, underground, solar, etc. I'm shooting a project or two each week. I use Lightroom currently for my editing needs and use some loose tags to keep track of everything. The issue is becoming is different departments are asking for photos for bids, for flyers, for their own employees (who doesn't want some new instagram shots) and whatever else is coming up. I'd love to be able to upload approved photography and have it searchable by tags. We're not opposed to using something like google or Flickr, but not sure if t

Won’t connect to custom domains eg: .photography Please fix this and I will re-rate the application.

Hi, I just performed some system updates today and now I am getting these errors in my logs: "PHP message: PHP Fatal error: Uncaught ImagickException: unable to open image `././upload/2019/01/20/20190120213924-8e04e925.jpg': No such file or directory @ error/blob.c/OpenBlob/2875 and of course images are not loading. This is my Imagick version: php73-pecl-imagick-3.4.3_3 and this is the Piwigo environment: Piwigo 2.9.4 Operating system: FreeBSD PHP: 7.3.1 (Show info) [2019-01-21 06:57:08] MySQL: 5.5.5-10.0.37-MariaDB [2019-01-21 06:57:08] Graphics Library: ImageMagick 6.9.10-22 Is there anything in Piwigo that can be done to fix this or is this simply a bug upstream?

This app would be very cool if it worked right. I have to try between one and five times to create an album until it succeeds, usually it says failed, and when I upload pictures it fails saying I'm unauthorized but only sometimes. Other times it uploads the pictures but resizes them to 5x5, so they're all blurry. Every now and then I can get it to work properly. I've tried nuking my piwigo installation on my server but no luck. Am I the only one? I don't think I'm doing anything wrong but I hope I am because this app would be very cool if it worked 100% of the time.

I have trouble anytime I have to select something from a list. The list selection gets in the way of going to the next item, and the previous an next buttons generally don't work because they are placed over the selection field and the app instead changes your selection rather than allowing the buttons to work. You also can't tap outside of a selection field to exit it. This app is still operation in early beta mode from all the interface bugs I run into. I hope they update it to address these bugs.

Not compatible with iOS 8. Please update.

This app freezes screen when entering password to log on. Cannot be used at all as a result. Would give zero star if possible

You cannot see existing albums. When you create albums, it silently fails to create them. You cannot upload photos. Notice all the good reviews are more than a year ago. This thing is just completely broken.

This app hasn't been updated in a while unlike Piwigo. Like others I haven't been able to upload photos. It's almost like the app isn't connecting to the site. Hoping the app will be updated/fixed, but not holding my breath.

It was always cumbersome to upload multiple photos at once. Ever since upgrading my server to the latest version of piwigo, I am no longer able to upload photos using this app.

Cannot select multiple pics at once. Cannot view albums.

Videos wont run on iPhones from Synology photos and I've done all that I could to troubleshoot including video format conversion(type, size, etc), getting AME for the HEVC compatibility, certificate issues, etc I just need a timeline view where all of my videos and photos will play as smoothly as it does on our phones. I am migrating all of my files into the NAS and delete from my phone I saw Piwigo and Immich, which are the best for me usecase?

I would like to be able to select a serving image format the same way I select serving image sizes. There are already a few FRs and forum threads around support for webp/HEIC/AVIV/jpeg XL/..., but the overall conclusion seems to be that jpg works well enough. E.g [this comment](https://github.com/Piwigo/Piwigo/issues/1144#issuecomment-1684202302) from @plegall : > As far as I see it, JPEG is not that bad of a deal. We may find better in terms of filesize with the same quality, but would we have the same support by web browsers? But there can be more than one! It'd be great if I could choose which one(s) I want, just like I get to pick image sizes, e.g.: Multiple Size: [x]Square [

Hello, I plan to migrate my piwigo installation to a docker configuration with the official image. So first, I test it on pi test platform: HW: Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.5 OS: Debian GNU/Linux 13 (trixie) aarch64 Kernel: Linux 6.12.47+rpt-rpi-v8 docker --version: Docker version 29.1.2, build 890dcca I follow the documentation available here: https://piwigo.org/guides/install/docker (note: screenshots are from 15.7.0 piwigo version not 16.1;-) ) **1/** in the compose.yaml file, the following standza ``` networks: piwigo-network: external: false ``` is well placed (at the beginning of the file) IF docker is only used for piwigo (and its DB). Otherwise the standza m

The app itself is really nice, I wish I could make the web ui as user friendly as the app. But of the few test uploads I did none of my Live Photos were uploaded with the “live” portion. My photos were apparently converted from HEIC to jpeg. And all of the .MOV files I tried uploading failed with an orange exclamation mark… Im hoping this is just a bug or a setting I messed up. But it’s not looking that way…

Images I selected to upload to my website are still pending hours later. I even restarted my phone, deleted the select images, closed the app several times. Nothing helps — they’re still pending. Gonna try a reinstall.

I’ve been running the the app for a long time now but suddenly it started crashing ever since the last update. My server works fine when using a web browser and nothing has changed there. Other people who who have not updated yet work fine too. It logs in ok but then crashes while loading. My server has over 85,000 images in it. Could it be memory? Dunno.

Works great for viewing my albums but when I upload new photos from my phone I cannot view them and when I close the app and re open they are gone...

I am running a production photo archive using Piwigo, where images are regularly uploaded over FTP in large batches. This is a common and efficient workflow for high volume environments, especially when uploads are automated or handled by external systems. The core issue is that Piwigo still lacks a reliable and maintained mechanism for automatic synchronization of newly uploaded files. After uploading images via FTP, the gallery does not reflect changes unless a manual sync is triggered. For an active photo bank, this is not practical. There are a few existing tools and plugins that attempt to address this, but they appear to be abandoned. Some have not seen updates in close to nine years

It’s free and awesome!

I love the sync feature and it has plenty of options

I have a spare pi3 and I wanted to setup a portfolio for my little brother. He’s a photographer but has about average skill with a computer. I’m looking for something that’s easy to edit through a web ui and is largely plug and play. So far Piwigo is looking like the one I’ll use but I thought I’d get some input on this from you guys if there’s any other good options.

I have been a Lightroom user for many years and have a curated directory of photographs, many of which are tagged and rated 0-5 stars using XMP metadata from Lightroom. I am looking for a self-hosted Photos solution that supports an existing library and can read and work with the ratings and tags I have already. I have tried many of the popular offerings and most do not read the metadata I am looking for. My 3 requirements: 1. Support existing library. i.e., point to an existing directory of photos and read from there. (ideally a read-only option is included, not required though) 2. Read the hierarchical tags created in Lightroom 3. Read the 0-5 star ratings created in Lightroom 4. Cre

I'm a seasoned amateur photographer that is looking for a specific thing - namely a web based photo album that displays photos from cheap backup storage, with some sharing/download options. I already pay for dropbox, backblaze b2, google drive, etc. I don't want to have to pay for yet another form of storage. I just want a simple way to share sets of photos to family and friends. Essentially I use lightroom and want to export photos to a folder on my PC. And then have them sync to a cheap robust storage - dropbox/s3/google drive/whatever - and then be able to view them in an online album and share the link with people. I've looked into multiple solutions and still cann

I really love this app. I have a feature request and was wondering how difficult it would be to implement. I would love the ability to browse a picture in Photos, and then open the picture in Piwigo to upload it to my gallery. The problem I currently have is that it is not as smooth to scroll through nand find picture in the upload screen in Piwigo as compared to Photos. Hope this makes sense. Thank you.

Piwigo has a lot of features built in and can be extended using plugins. I think where Piwigo really shines is In it’s ability to be more privacy focused. Purchasing hosting provided by the group behind Piwigo themselves is a great way to support the company and the product they have made, but you also have the option to self host all your photos and link the app to that computer. Some other great features built into the app itself is the ability to strip the uploaded photos of metadata which is also nice in not sharing location data and other information if for lets say a family member posts one of your shared photos online. Anyway, a great app and I wanted to support it by writing this rev

The latest update is fast!! No complaints whatsoever.

the stock pages are useful, but I want to make my own photographic portfolio, and I would like to be able to sell my photos from the page itself, I already use piwigo, but I don't like the fact that everything goes in albums, I like that they can be seen all when scrolling down

Thanks for all the work developing the app. Double tap to zoom would be really nice!

I've read some of the posts and reviews from a year ago on Google Photos replacements but I'm still confused about which self-hosted galleries meet the following criteria: - Points to photo folder and leaves photos in tact for easy backup and data portability. Albums are reflected in folder structure so if I switch galleries in the future, they will be retained. - Good experience on Android, securely available outside local network, but doesn't have to be an app - Support for video is a must - AI features not necessary - Ideal if it's available through Yunohost - Must load large directories with large numbers of photos and videos quickly - l would prefer to use a separate solution fo

App needs the ability to auto upload camera roll. Been trying to find something to switch from Nextcloud. I like everything about this except for that fact.

good app but can user not admin del their photos on app？

Images no longer load, though my Piwigo site works fine on iOS safari and desktop.

Love Piwigo, but even though my user has HD enable and no matter whether I set the preview to original size and clear cache, I can’t seem to download the (very large) original photo size through the iOS app (I can download it from the web client). Is this a bug? Could the iOS app support dynamic downloading in the various supported sizes - this would be a nice feature! Thank you for all the hard work.

Better than the backend. Modern, zippy and function. Not sure if will handle videos, though.

Continuing in my quest for large-scale photo management\*, I came across Piwigo. Seems like it might do what I need. Before I go to the trouble of setting it up, has anyone played with it? Primary question I have - can it be pointed at a tree of photos and index/import them? Or does it pull the photos into its own storage - effectively duplicating all of the photos? Depending on what I've read, I've seen responses that imply either is the case, but looking for the actual answer. Don't want to go to the trouble of setting it up and configuring it to find that the only way it works is to make a second copy of my 2.5TB of photographs. ;) Thanks in advance! \*[https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoar

This app is amazing! My whole family uses it to organize all of our photos. Scanning took forever but was worth it! Any idea if the Piwigo team is planning Nextcloud integration? That would be a dream.

Hi everyone, thank you for your time. I've looked through this sub and already found some answers but since I'm completely new to the self hosted game, I still have some questions. I finished setting up my server yesterday. Installed Windows Server 2019 and that's it for now. My first goal is to have an alternative to google photos (like a lot of people on this sub, I guess). **Main use case:** * Backup all photos/videos from my Android phone regularly (e.g. whenever it's on WiFi and charging) * Access all those pictures using an Android app that lets me interact with them as if they were locally saved (e.g. browse through a list of thumbnails, filtering by "date taken" or even "locati

The one and the only one web album, I installed on my home NAS , it’s easy to use and stable, as part of my life for over 5 years.

This is a well done, quick app that gives good access (upload, change, add, and view) access to Piwigo albums. But it really needs a search capability!

Easy to add and manage pictures.

This app makes it super convenient to upload pictures to your Piwigo site from your phone. It's pretty straightforward and simple to use. The only extra feature I'd be interested in would be the ability to see and add comments. Keep up the good work!

I agree with many people here. This app is pretty good with some issues. Most specifically, I have problems uploading from my iPhone to my piwigo database. The issue seems to be related to photos that are stored in the cloud. If I download to my phone, then they can be uploaded to the database. I don't know why that is necessary. I also wish I had some control over the size of the thumbnails shown on the main page.

As others have mentioned there are a few features that could be improved, but overall I have no complaints. It's simple to use and does its job well. I keep my photo site updated with new pics from my iPhone easily, and that's what I care most about. Very pleased with the overall utility of this app!

Before anyone asks, yes, I know the question thread exists, but this isn't going to be that simple. And while we're at it, call every link that isn't Amazon or Newegg going forward NSFW, its part of what I do.

Works well. Great for backing up your cell phone pics

500 star value, especially now that it has an app for your phone!!

Like any other software, there are pluses and minuses. At the end of the day it is all about whether the software satisfies your needs and requirements. Piwigo does that for me. And since I'm reviewing a third party plugin here, thank you for maintaining this one as well! Keep up the good work!!

I have piwigo running on a windows server at home and this app is the perfect companion to go with it.

I am new user of piwigo. This app is very easy to use and glad to see it's still alive.

It worked a lot better than I was expecting. All of my pictures are uploaded now and now I don't have to pay for backup every month anymore. Thanks for he savings!

I love how you can upload more than one picture at a time. It's so nice how your phone stays on so you can upload them all at once without having to monitor your phone. I love having all my pictures backed up online. Amazing app!

Our whole family is using this app, and we love it. We all have iPhones and take a LOT of photos. Having them uploaded to our family server is so handy, especially to free up space on our phones. Really nice interface!

I love this app! It is so easy to upload my photos and videos and it knows which ones I have already uploaded so I don't waste time uploading them again. Very user-friendly and I love knowing my pictures are backed up in another place. I also love that I can delete the picture in my phone but still view it in the app and even download it back onto my phone if I want.

The update makes this a great app. It’s simple and easy to use with a new look and navigation that makes it quick and easy to upload to your Piwigo site. The in app album management and photo viewer are great.

Great and simple interface to interact with my Piwigo! I love that I can upload more than one image at once and see which images haven't been uploaded yet. Great app!

I'm hoping folks will have some good suggestions for me on how to capture good photos of subjects that are reflective in nature. I'm sure lots of folks have seen the very awkward (and NSFW) pictures of various ebay listings of stuff that reflected the photographer, but this is more about the subject reflecting lots of sunshine back at you, versus you appearing in the shot. A specific example that I am dealing with, is Amtrak passenger cars. The cars' skin is stainless steel, so it reflects the sun like nobody's business, giving me a hard time in trying to capture the car without a huge bright spot. Here's an example of the issue [here](http://www.richmond-terminal.org/piwigo/_data/i/upload/2

The app works as advertised. The only issue is that some user-management plugins might prevent the app from logging in. Otherwise a great and handy app! Recommended.

This is the best thing that came out of France since the Impessionism.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this latest release of Piwigo that supports apps like this. It was really easy to log in to my personal gallery using this app and uploads are quick and simple. The feature I would most ask for next is to support tag editing on upload. So far all you can do is define a name and description. I'm pretty excited to see how this website and app advance and hoping to ween off sites like Flickr due to this self hosting awesomeness.
