Seems like a lot of people have their own solution, I'll add mine to the pile: https://github.com/pR0Ps/PhotoFloat

It consists of 2 parts:

- a Python script to parse metadata from photos into json files and create thumbnails.

- A JS-based frontend that consumes the json files and thumbnails to provide a UI.

Features:

- Can be hosted completely statically making it ideal for low-power servers

- Serves up your photos in the same file structure as they are on the disk

- Works with many types of photos, including most raw files

- Parses and displays common EXIF data

- Works well on slower connections (minimal HTML+CSS+JS, small thumbnails, placeholders, preloads images as you view, etc)
