Peak Publisher turns your WordPress site into your own plugin update server. It’s built for agencies, product teams, and developers who want to create and ship their own custom plugins and want full control over distribution, versioning, and updates — without relying on third‑party services.
With a modern, task‑focused admin UI, you can add new plugins and releases via drag & drop, validate packages automatically, and publish or draft releases with one click. Your client plugins point to your Peak Publisher site via a standard <code>Update URI</code>, so WordPress will discover and install updates directly from you.
With this solution, you can have your own self-hosted plugin update server in just 5 minutes, allowing you to centrally manage your plugins and deploy updates with incredible ease.

<h3>KEY FEATURES</h3>
🚀 Clean admin UI with a guided “Add New Plugin” flow 
A short and focused user interface guides you through the entire process to deploy your first plugin with amazing ease within minutes.
☝️ Drag & drop a ZIP or simply the whole plugin folder 
You can drop a ZIP file, but the easiest way is to simply drop the entire raw plugin folder or the folder’s contents. The ZIP file will then be created automatically for you.
✅ Automatic validation: headers, version, Update URI 
Peak Publisher automatically checks each new release for required headers, proper semantic versioning, consistent update URIs, and more to ensure everything is correct.
🧽🫧 Auto‑cleanup of workspace artifacts (e.g. .git, node_modules) 
To provide clean packages and reduce package size, Peak Publisher automatically removes development files and operating system artifacts from your uploads using patterns that you can configure. (optional)
🔐 Optional restriction via IP/domain whitelist 
Packages are stored in a private, server-protected directory with no direct web access. By default, access via the API is still possible from anywhere. Using IP or domain whitelisting, you can restrict access to update metadata and downloads.
<h4>Some More Features</h4>

Adds an “Immich” tab to the WordPress media picker modal and the Media Library grid view. Search and browse your self-hosted <a href="https://immich.app/" rel="nofollow ugc">Immich</a> photo library, then import selected photos directly into WordPress or proxy them without copying files.
Features:
<ul>
<li>Use or Copy — “Use” proxies media directly from Immich (no files copied); “Copy” downloads the original into the media library</li>
<li>Photo and video support — images are proxied with full-resolution originals; videos stream with seeking support</li>
<li>Smart search — find media using Immich’s AI-powered search</li>
<li>People filter — browse by recognized people from your Immich library</li>
<li>Multi-select — use or import multiple items at once with infinite scroll</li>
<li>Lightbox — full-resolution lightbox on Immich images in posts</li>
<li>Media Library integration — browse and import Immich assets directly from the Media Library grid view</li>
<li>Previously added — the Immich tab shows assets you’ve already used, ready to re-select</li>
<li>Secure API proxy — all Immich API calls happen server-side; the API key is never exposed to the browser</li>
<li>Per-user API keys — each user can configure their own Immich API key</li>
<li>Local proxy cache — proxied media is cached on disk after the first request; optional automatic cleanup with configurable lifetime, managed from a Cache Files admin page</li>
<li>Copy Resolution setting — choose the resolution used when copying originals into the media library</li>
<li>Test Connection — verify your server URL and API key from the Settings page before saving</li>
</ul>
This plugin also ships an “Immich Album Gallery” block: insert it in any post, pick an Immich album, and the post renders a live gallery of that album using the core Gallery markup (so it inherits your theme’s styling and works with the WordPress core lightbox).
<h3>External services</h3>
This plugin connects to a self-hosted <a href="https://immich.app/" rel="nofollow ugc">Immich</a> server that you configure in Settings > Immich. Immich is a self-hosted photo and video management solution — it runs on your own infrastructure and is not a third-party cloud service, but the connection is disclosed here for transparency.
<h4>What data is sent and when</h4>
<ul>
<li>Browsing and searching: When a logged-in WordPress user opens the Immich media picker or searches for photos, the plugin sends API requests (search queries, page numbers, and person filter IDs) to your Immich server.</li>
<li>Importing or using media: When a user selects an asset to import or use, the plugin fetches the original file or metadata from the Immich server using the asset’s UUID.</li>
<li>Proxying media to visitors: When a site visitor views a page containing Immich-proxied images or videos, WordPress fetches the media from your Immich server on their behalf. Visitor data is not sent to Immich — only the stored asset UUID and your API key are used server-side.</li>
</ul>
All communication uses the API key you configure in WordPress. The API key is never exposed to browsers.
<h4>Immich project links</h4>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://immich.app/" rel="nofollow ugc">Immich website</a></li>
<li><a href="https://immich.app/privacy-policy" rel="nofollow ugc">Immich privacy policy</a></li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/immich-app/immich/blob/main/LICENSE" rel="nofollow ugc">Immich license (AGPL-3.0)</a></li>
</ul>
Since Immich is self-hosted, the terms of use and privacy practices are determined by whoever operates the Immich server you connect to.
