If you just want the photoalbum (not music and other bells and whistles),
I think qdig should do it for you.  It is a gallery in one file, written
in php, so ought to be cross-platform.  It can be configured to work on
a hierarchy of directories in various ways and the 'look' is also
configurable.  You could then just access the top level directory, in
which the script sits, via a web-browser on any computer with a webserver.

There is no Debian package AFAIK but it is easily available as a
tarball.
