No subscriptions, no storage limits, no third-party access to your photos.\n\n![PicPeak Gallery Preview](docs/screenshot-gallery.png)\n\n## Demo\n\nTry it out at [demo.picpeak.app](https://demo.picpeak.app).\n\nAdmin panel: [demo.picpeak.app/admin](https://demo.picpeak.app/admin) — login with `demo@picpeak.app` / `Demo2026!`\n\n\u003e The demo resets periodically.\n\n## Features\n\n**Gallery Management** — Create galleries, upload photos via drag \u0026 drop, set passwords and expiration dates. Galleries auto-archive when they expire. Events start as drafts so you can upload and prepare before notifying the client.\n\n**Client Experience** — Responsive galleries that look great on any device. Guests can browse, download individual photos or everything at once. Optional guest uploads and feedback (likes, comments, ratings).\n\n**Themes \u0026 Branding** — 11 built-in theme presets, custom CSS templates, configurable colors/fonts/layouts. White-label your admin panel and login page with your own logo and company name.\n\n**Email Notifications** — Automated gallery creation, expiration warning, and archive emails. Multilingual templates (EN, DE, NL, PT, RU) editable from the admin UI.\n\n**Photo Protection** — Watermarking, right-click prevention, canvas rendering, DevTools detection. Configurable per gallery.\n\n**External Media** — Reference photos from a mounted folder instead of uploading. PicPeak reads originals in place and generates thumbnails on demand.\n\n**Multi-Language** — Full UI translations for English, German, Dutch, Portuguese, and Russian. Email templates support all languages independently.\n\n**Analytics** — Built-in view/download tracking plus optional Umami integration for privacy-focused analytics.\n\n**Video Support** — Upload and stream MP4, WebM, MOV alongside photos. FFmpeg bundled via npm.\n\n**Multiple Admins** — Role-based access control with super admin, admin, and editor roles.\n\n## Quick Start\n\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/the-luap/picpeak.git\ncd picpeak\ncp .env.example .env\n# Edit .env — set at least JWT_SECRET and passwords\ndocker compose up -d\n```\n\nOpen `http://localhost:3000` and log in with the credentials from your `.env`.\n\n\u003e **Permissions:** Set `PUID` and `PGID` in `.env` to match your host user (`id -u` / `id -g`) so Docker volumes are writable.\n\nSee the [Deployment Guide](DEPLOYMENT_GUIDE.md) for reverse proxy setup, SSL, external media, and production configuration.\n\n## Screenshots\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eAdmin Dashboard\u003c/summary\u003e\n\n\u003cimg src=\"docs/screenshot-dashboard.png\" alt=\"Admin Dashboard\" width=\"800\" /\u003e\n\u003c/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eEvent Management\u003c/summary\u003e\n\n\u003cimg src=\"docs/screenshots-events.png\" alt=\"Event Management\" width=\"800\" /\u003e\n\u003c/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eAnalytics\u003c/summary\u003e\n\n\u003cimg src=\"docs/screenshot-analytics.png\" alt=\"Analytics\" width=\"800\" /\u003e\n\u003c/details\u003e\n\n## Comparison\n\n| | PicPeak | PicDrop | Scrapbook.de |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| Self-hosted | Yes | No | No |\n| Monthly cost | $0 | $29-199 | 19-99 EUR |\n| Storage | Unlimited | 50-500 GB | 100-1000 GB |\n| Custom branding | Full | Limited | Limited |\n| Open source | Yes | No | No |\n| API | Yes | Paid | No |\n\n## Tech Stack\n\n- **Backend:** Node.js, Express, PostgreSQL (or SQLite)\n- **Frontend:** React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS\n- **Infrastructure:** Docker, Nginx, Redis\n- **Processing:** Sharp (images), FFmpeg (video)\n\n## Release Channels\n\n**Stable** (`stable` / `latest`) — Production-ready.
