So here’s my situation. I’ve been looking for a long time for a self-hosted photo library. I have pretty low requirements: I just want it to be able to show the videos and images I have stored on my NAS in a random order, and to support a slideshow of those files, also in a random order.
I thought I had finally found what I was looking for with PiGallery2 – it supports a hidden file that triggers the random order sorting – but it’s not stable. It works for a while and then takes ages and ages to refresh the album.
Synology Photos would have been perfect, but it can’t randomize!
Any suggestions? I’m looking to host this on Debian.
Photoprism can do random slideshow in the library/browse?order=random endpoint

you can use qiv , it’s in the repos
Take a look at Photostructure… I think that will meet your requirements!
Looks good, here is a link for everyone Photostructure
You didn’t say anything about price, so I’m going to offer Chevereto.
Probably nobody’s first guess, but Plex can do this, no problem. It’s quietly robust.
