ChronoFrame Photography Portfolio
ChronoFrame is a rare self-hosted album project from a Chinese developer, built with Nuxt 4, Vue and Drizzle under AGPL-3.0. It is positioned as a photography portfolio rather than a backup drive: masonry layout, WebGL zoom, Live Photo, map footprints, password-protected albums and batch upload from a dashboard. It has been featured by HelloGitHub.
What it does well
- Portfolio-grade presentation: masonry grid, filter sorting, histogram, original download, share previews.
- Live Photo: matching image and MOV files are paired automatically, playing on hover or long press.
- Albums and privacy: ordering, hiding and password protection, so you can publish only part of a library.
- Flexible storage: local directories, S3-compatible object storage or OpenList, switchable in the admin UI.
Images and ports
Official image ghcr.io/hoshinosuzumi/chronoframe:latest, also hoshinosuzumi/chronoframe:latest on Docker Hub. Web port 3000, a single container with SQLite, all data under /app/data.
Deployment cost
1 vCPU / 1 GB is enough — the lightest option here. The first launch opens an installer where you create the admin and choose storage (for local storage use /app/data/storage). Great for a personal photo site or a yearly family album; not suitable as a full phone-backup library.
