ChronoFrame

Self-hosted personal gallery.

Visit ChronoFrame

ChronoFrame is a self-hosted personal gallery application for managing photos online. It stores data in SQLite3 and deploys with a single Docker command, without requiring a separate database. Photos can be kept on multiple storage backends, including S3-compatible storage and local filesystems.

The application provides a web interface for browsing and managing photos, with photo locations shown on a map. Geolocation data is extracted automatically from photos, with Mapbox used for geocoding. It supports Apple LivePhoto and Google-standard Motion Photo formats, and detects and processes MOV video files. The interface is responsive for desktop and mobile, with touch operations and gesture controls.

ChronoFrame is released as open source under the MIT License.
