A truly single-file, no-database, drop-in PHP media gallery.

When I went looking, in early 2022, the options for a truly single-file, no-database drop-in PHP media gallery were shockingly small.
Well, there was one really great one, but it kind of cheated by pulling in the guts from a CDN. If the CDN goes down, or the developer decides to take their ball and go home, there goes your gallery.
Everything else wanted a database setup, or was just way, way outside the scope of what I wanted: just cleanly serve images, video, audio, pdf and text assets using the filesystem for organization.
Don't overthink the capabilities of this: you won't find tags, comments, or much of anything outside of directories and filenames. I may add optional features, including markdown directory docs, and thumbnail caching, but that's the primary use case. Just show media.
Clicking on a file just opens it up directly in the browser, instead of something nicer. Not exactly in a hurry to change that, but it's on my mind.
Persistent config data would be nice, but since it's currently just a handfulcouple at the moment, you'll survive.
This could probably all be implemented better -- the build process, most especially. build.sh is a real shit-show, but it works.
Themes?
I keep a fresh copy in the /build directory of the master build. Literally just copy/paste, edit the config block pointing to a media path (it defaults to /media), and off you go.
If a directory has an readme.md file, it will be rendered below the directories and media.
Will create and serve basic thumbnail images from the .data directory.
