Forgive the dumb question but where is the source code? I can't find a Github (or similar) link. Edit: Yes I know I can access the source code by simply downloading index.php but I'm looking for a place where I can file issues, submit patches, view commit history, etc.
It is hard not to get disappointed after seeing CDN loaded js files claiming single file. And the license part. Thanks, I will stick to my synology.

> In any case, for now it's not possible to load Files app without internet This is a major turn-off IMO. One of the main points of self-hosting is that you don't rely on the outer internet. If a self-hosted service relies on externally hosted resources, does this make it partially self-hosted?
Well, they can simply embed the static resources in the PHP file itself, why not?

Have you looked at DigiKam? It offers directories, tagging (with custom tag hierarchies), deduplication and also face recognition. I think it can do quite a bit more, but I'm not a heavy user, at all. I just use it for keeping track of my modest library and it works great for that.
I will check it out
The image viewing interface itself is okay although it might not be as smooth as e.g. Apple Photo (which I feel has its own challenges with how convoluted its image directories are e.g). ImageRanger has also tags and Face Detection and Recognition.
I have only installed the Home edition, and it seems to re-index the images to create thumbnails (relatively fast) if you have stored images on an external disk that is detached/attached between openings of the program. From what I understand, the Professional version does not have this issue as the images are cached (not tested out this myself). I don't think the face Detection and Recognition is on par with e.g. Apple Photo, but haven't tested it extensively enough to say that with 100% certainty.
What I like most about ImageRanger is its import functions and the way it stores the images in common folders and subfolders based on preferences and not in a convoluted DB.
As somebody who recently spent two weekends trying to figure out a self hosted photo solution that actually for my needs and was easy to install, this looks fantastic. (I ended up using PhotoView, which works fine, but this looks like it might have been better.)
Hey thanks for sharing with us https://photoview.github.io It's worth a look :-)
I remember seeing these kinds of single-file web apps when I used PHP ~15 years ago. It was a good time! Unfortunately, no such culture seems to exist in other web language ecosystems.

Most php cli tools (like Composer) are actually phar archives

As per [1] from below - Apparently it's a nag-based paid software with an otherwise restricted feature set. This is not clearly explained on the page. In fact, it looks like the site goes out of its way to try and pass for free software - the Demo is NOT of what you are actually downloading, no pricing info, no mention of Basic vs Full versions anywhere, including the Docs, except for an dull looking blurb at the ver…
There is also this gem. > Add username and password to protect your Files app by login. You can encrypt your password by using our md5() hash tool if you don't want the password to be exposed in the PHP file. Now I realize it's probably not using md5, but it does not bode well.
