The photo library that stays on your machine.
LibrePhotos scans the folders you already have, finds the faces, places and events in them, and makes everything searchable. Nothing is sent to a third party. Not a photo, not a byte of metadata.
Runs with Docker, Kubernetes or Unraid. Android app included. Built by volunteers, so sponsoring keeps it going.
A look around
The current release with a sample library. The screenshots follow the theme you are reading in.
The timeline groups your library by the day it was taken and shows where you were. Scroll years in a flick with the scrubber on the right.

Start here
Three doors into the documentation, depending on what you came for.
Install
Pick a deployment: a single container, Docker Compose, Kubernetes or Unraid. Most people are done in ten minutes.
Installation guides →First steps
Point LibrePhotos at your photos, run the first scan, and set up accounts for the rest of the household.
After the first login →Contribute
Get a development environment running, learn how the backend and frontend fit together, and send a pull request.
Development setup →Support the project
No company. No product key. Just people who want their photos back.
LibrePhotos is maintained by volunteers in their spare time. There is no venture money and nothing is held back for a paid tier. If it saves you a subscription, consider passing a little of that on. Sponsorship pays for the hardware the models are tested on and the hours that go into releases.
