Looking for a Simple Way to Publish Photo Galleries on My Windows Server 2022

I'm looking for an easy, preferably free solution to publish a gallery of photos on my Windows Server 2022. I've scanned and digitized a lot of paper photos for an upcoming class reunion, totaling around 1,000 images across 21 albums. Many of my classmates are not comfortable using cloud services, so that's not an option. I already have my server set up with IIS and a basic 'hello world' page running, so the technical side of things—like hardware, public IP, domain, and DNS—aren't problematic. What I need now is some software that can help me publish these photo albums easily. The key features I need include: the ability to select albums, a thumbnail overview of photos, navigation controls (first, previous, next, last) within each album, and a responsive design that works well on mobile devices. I don't want a full CMS; just something straightforward to set up. If a software option costs up to $50, I'm willing to consider it. A trial version would also be great, as I intend to share download links for each album. Thanks for any recommendations!

Given your setup, you could also consider creating a simple React app if you're comfortable with coding. It doesn't have to be fancy; a basic app could do the trick and give you full control over the design and functionality. If coding isn't your thing, try searching for lightweight gallery scripts that might work without much fuss!

You might want to check out PhotoShow! It's pretty straightforward and should fit your needs. Just keep in mind that it’s a bit older software, so finding a compatible PHP version for Windows Server 2022 might require some work. Still, it could save you a lot of setup hassle!
