I'm using Google Photos. With that, I can share with a person; but what google does is send him the link,
yes
but once the link is known everybody in
Internet can see the photos. Yes, it is a long and obscure link, but still... I do not feel "safe". A spider might find it, right?
no. It can only be found if the receiver send also the link to an other people. I guess you can also set a passwd and a time limit (nexcloud do, I dunno for google)
No, no password setup in Google Photos.
So looking at alternatives. Some other service out there? (gratis preferably)
Maybe Google drive, perhaps?
same thing
I have not tried, but I thought the receiver has to be logged in.
I might host them myself. I have a minimal Linux server accessible from Internet. Now, what software, just Apache? Maybe too much work, maybe there is already something out there for the job.
a gallery? Piwigo?

you have a full passwd setup, but may be overkill for only small use,
Overkill it seems, yes... <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piwigo> But there are no alternatives: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_photo_gallery_software> jAlbum -> Proprietary Gallery Project -> discontinued MediaGoblin AGPLv3 Piwigo GPL <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaGoblin> Last release was made on 2016. May be overkill as well.
else apache and .htaccess...
.htaccess will not work, I don't get to know the IP of the incoming connection. All report MY router address.
Apache has a complication: I have to differentiate the internal LAN web
I don't understand. Is your server accessible from the net?
Once I open the access to it in the router, yes. At this moment, no. I do not want people to have access to what Apache is currently serving to my LAN. I want people coming from Internet to see a different web page and not have access to the internal page, and perhaps using different settings, more secure. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
