I built something mostly like this, albeit not self-hosted: https://mood.site
The idea of it is - a simple website where, when you go to it, an album is auto-created for you without need for an account.
You can upload images to that site through drag and drop or clicking upload. Once uploaded images can be rearranged and resized, with the grid adapting.
You can share the gallery with other people to collab on it by sharing the URL with the edit query param attached. If you share the link without the edit key the gallery is view only.
Main thing it's lacking based on your ask is ability to toggle visibility for individual photos.

I haven't considered making it something people could self-host, but the underlying tech is easy enough and is just backed by a pretty simple database that I could maybe bake into a single delivery html + js file that references a folder of images. Would that be interesting?
