About Urocissa
Urocissa is a self-hosted photo gallery server intended for large photo collections. The homepage says it can serve millions of photos on a server with 4GB of RAM, and that it supports search and filtering across large libraries, including endless scrolling without pagination. It is built with Rust and Vue and is distributed as a standalone executable for Windows and Linux.
The homepage describes the software as free and open source under the MIT license. The directory record lists it as not open source, so check the project's source repository before relying on either claim. Performance figures such as the one-million-photo search time are stated by the project and have not been independently verified. Pricing is unknown.
