I never setup a photo server myself so no first-time opinion.
Alex Mandel told us he has a Piwigo instance so that could be
a good start. Someone also mentioned (in #osgeo-sac:libera.chat)
Pixelfed which is supposedly working like Peertube (engages P2P
on clients, to reduce load on server).

What we need for sure is a LDAP backend for authentication.
We saw Piwigo and Pixelfed both support LDAP backend,
do you know about LibrePhoto and Lychee or have any experience
with them ?

Best would be to find a volunteer to actually setup, document
and maintain the service. We can provide a container to play
with.

Regina ticketed a task to set such service up here:

comments should probably go there
