I am still looking for a simple tool to deduplicate, organize, and tag all the photos I have accumulated over the years. Old laptop hard drives, old cell phones, iPhoto libraries, aperture libraries, etc. I want to dump them into a staging area, remove all dupes, and start organizing and tagging them into a folder structure.

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.

single .php file…

This is precisely the kind of thing that should be a single file CGI-like script. It's a much better view than the stock file listing Apache would spit out. There is no need to complicate it with microservices, high availability, event-based architecture, etc. It takes a single HTTP GET request and spits out HTML that nicely renders the content. That's all it needs to do. One file is perfect.

My first thought when seeing this was whether I could run it as a docker image… I don’t know what’s wrong with me :P

Nothing. My first thought as well. I have a NAS and a bunch of self hosted apps running on kubernetes. Something like this will be really useful.

I use https://sye.dk/sfpg/ myself, another single-file PHP photo gallery. It's less polished, but it's free.

There are plenty of these.

This submission is notable is because it's free and polished.

    --- Edit ---
AH, DAMN. It is NOT indeed free, at least not as demoed.

The child comment below is 100% correct.

It also pulls piles of stuff from cdn.jsdelivr.net and can't function without it. That's no bueno.

Great idea. I wish someone creates this in Go that way we don't even need to install php. Just run binary in directory and start browsing.

filebrowser is a nice option: https://github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser I don't think it has as slick of a photo view, but it does make it easy to spin up a server for files with a focus on editing.
