This week in past

Generate a web-based slideshow of your photos from this week in past years. This self-hosted tool helps you rediscover memories from your own photo library.

Rediscover your photo collection with a personal, self-hosted "on this day" slideshow. This tool scans your image library and automatically generates a web-based presentation of photos taken during the current week, but from previous years. It's the perfect way to relive memories you might have forgotten, running entirely on your own hardware.

The system is designed for performance, quickly indexing tens of thousands of photos even on low-powered devices like a Raspberry Pi. If no photos are found for the current week, it can switch to a random slideshow to keep things interesting.

Key features include:

  • Flexible Deployment: Run the application easily using Docker or as a standalone native binary.
  • Smart Integrations: Overlay current weather data or information from your Home Assistant instance directly onto the slideshow.
  • Full Control: Configure slideshow intervals, date formats, and use ignore files or regular expressions to exclude specific folders.
  • Simple Interaction: Navigate your memories with invisible on-screen controls to pause, play, or skip to the next or previous image.
