xPhoto is an web application that is meant to replicate google photos on your own NAS server. its meant to be run in a home environment behind a firewall.

It was created because I had a need to share photos within my household at full resolution, in a fast matter.

It uses rapidoid-http-fast to serve the image files, which is the fastest http server I ever experienced. And it serves 42 MegaPixel images from a Sony A7R2 within a second (20-30MB per picture).

• Scans your photo folder, generates thumbnails and indexes all photos/albums
• Works with your own folders, each folder is an album
• Extremely lightweight
• Serve huge images, very fast.

• Install Java 8 and make sure its on your path
• Modify xphoto.properties and change "photos" and "server.port" to suit your needs
• run "java -jar xphoto.jar"
• wait for the app to make thumbnails and index all your photos
• open http://localhost:8080 in your browser (or via your pc ip to other devices)

• How do I add/re-index my photos ?

Since the autoscanning feature is not yet implemented, you have to delete "albums.ser" and re-run the program in order to rescan.

• How do I remake the thumbnails ?

Delete the contents of the "thumbnail" folder

• Option for scanning of SD cards and auto-import them once they get plugged in
• Cold storage & Hot storage mechanism (only scan cold storage once)
• Poll hot storage for new files, and auto add them.
• Video support
• Edit images (contrast, brightness, colors, etc) and place them in a new file (leave original)
• Ability to hide images & albums
• Face detection
• Delete thumbnails for deleted photos
