Is HomeGallery actively maintained?
HomeGallery is under active development: 112 commits landed over the last 11 months, averaging roughly 2 commits a month in the most recent quarter.
Activity is cooling: commits are down 81% against the previous quarter. One slow quarter is normal; two in a row is a signal.
No tagged releases are published, so there is no stable version to pin to — you would deploy from the default branch or a container image built from it.
HomeGallery ranks #20 of 25 tracked photo galleries projects. Several better-maintained options exist in the same category — they are listed below.
What HomeGallery actually does
HomeGallery is a self-hosted web application designed to help you browse personal photos and videos through a browser. It includes features for tagging media, accessing the interface from mobile devices, and using artificial intelligence for image discovery.
Best fit: It is a suitable choice if you want to organise and search a personal media collection on your own hardware using containerised tools.
Worth knowing: The project currently lacks tagged releases and has a low maintenance score, which indicates that you may encounter unresolved bugs or an abandoned codebase.
Deployment notes
Since it runs via Docker and Node.js, you will typically need to configure persistent volume mounts for your media library and place the container behind a reverse proxy for TLS termination.
