What is SPIS?
SPIS (Simple Private Image Server) is a lightweight, fast server for displaying images and videos hosted on a private server. It solves the problem of overly complex, slow media servers by offering a minimalistic, database-free solution that is easy to set up and operate.
Individuals or small teams who want a private, self-hosted media gallery without the overhead of databases or heavy dependencies, often running on low-resource hardware like Raspberry Pi.
Developers choose SPIS for its simplicity, speed, and lightweight design—it avoids feature bloat, requires no database, and is optimized for performance even with large media collections (e.g., 40,000+ images).
