PhotoView is a minimalist photo gallery server you can run on your own machine. Launch it in Even Stacks in one click, serve it over trusted HTTPS, and let your AI agents operate it.
What is PhotoView?
PhotoView is a minimalist self-hosted photo gallery that scans a directory tree and serves photos in a responsive web interface. It supports albums, EXIF data display, and automatic face detection via the built-in ML model.
Run PhotoView in Even
Even Stacks launches PhotoView as a managed container on your own machine. No compose files, no manual setup.
- Open the Even Stacks panel in Even. The container engine starts on demand.
- Find PhotoView in the one-click services and click Launch.
- Even pulls the image, starts it on port 8136, and serves it over trusted HTTPS at
https://photoview.localhost.
Drive PhotoView with your AI agents
Even ships an MCP, so any agent you run inside Even (Claude Code, Codex, and more) can operate PhotoView directly, at both the UI level and the container level.
Through the Even MCP an agent can open the library in the browser, organize albums, and check the logs. It runs commands inside the container, reads its logs, and for web apps opens and clicks through the interface in Even's own browser pane. Ask once, for example "set up PhotoView and get it ready", and the agent handles it end to end.
