Self-Hosted Website for Displaying Photos

[MrNormal]

In short, I'm looking to create a gallery page for some of the photos I've taken.

 

Ideally I have a docker container on my Unraid server that's mapped to a folder with 50-100 images, maybe some videos.

 

The site itself would have minimal text, maybe 2 pages total, home page/gallery, contact, the focus is having an easily accessible site I can share some of my favorite photos.

 

Played around with Drupal, which functionally could achieve what I'm wanting- but found the interface rather unintuitive. Would like something easier to deploy for a rather basic site.

Do you have any experience coding? What you are describing would be fairly simply to throw together in a few hours with some simple HTML and CSS without all the bloat of an external backend. Just simply serve on a NGINX container through a reverse proxy and you are golden.

Pretty sure there are countless web hosting providers that can do this for a nominal fee per year. GoDaddy has a website builder, Squarespace is a frequent sponsor of LTT.

Most of my experience is with python, minimal experience with HTML. Do you have a recommendation for HTML editor environment?

 

Reverse proxy and NGINX I'm comfortable with.

 

There's also the question of how I link media with the front end site, not sure the best way of doing this- which is what brought me to the forums. Maybe someone knows of a project that can be adapted.

Yes, GoDaddy, Squarespace, they would work- but I want to host it myself, or your idea is to just build the site using Squarespace, not use them for hosting?
