Now sauntering to the ring, please welcome the lackadaisical style of the man who is always doing something...

I have recently started working on a project to try and archive about two decades of digital family photos--about 10 TB all up. I have a computer set aside for the task and a couple of 20 TB hard drives in a RAID setup. I'm at a bit of a loss of how best to proceed from here, though, because the goal is to make all of the photos accessible not only from any computer within our home network (easy and fine) as well as by smartphone (I am completely stumped). I tried Plex, but it seems really slow and better suited to streaming video than storing tens or hundreds of thousands of photos in an easy-to-use app, since the people I want to do this for aren't terribly tech savvy.

Does anyone have any experience with this or have any suggestions? I have heard something about "Docker" being suitable, but I'll admit it's so far outside of my wheelhouse that I'm a bit unsure of how to even begin.
