Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Probably nobody's first guess, but Plex can do this, no problem. It's quietly robust.
I've actually used Plex for this before, but I was looking for something simpler. Good call, though!
Take a look at Photostructure... I think that will meet your requirements!
you can use qiv , it's in the repos
Photoprism can do random slideshow in the library/browse?order=random endpoint

Solving it the unix way:
ls -1 | sort -R | sxiv -f -s f -S 5 -
So it's ls -1 to list the content of current directory (presumably where your pictures are), with one file per line, so we can then pipe it to sort, with the -R option to sort randomly, then piping the result to sxiv, a lightweight image viewer available on most distro (I just checked, it's available on Debian). For its options : -f means it's fullscreen, -s f makes it scale to fit the image on screen as well as possible, -S 5 tells it to start in slideshow mode and change picture every 5 seconds, and - is to tell it to take the files list from stdin (thus from the ls and sort commands).
This won't work for videos, though, only pictures.
You didn’t say anything about price, so I’m going to offer Chevereto.
Sadly, this doesn't appear to have a slide show feature.
If you want slideshow on android device, there is an app on gstore called photocloud. It can play from shared folder or nextcloud for example. Looks outdated but it has features you want. There is a downside tho
Pricing
Pricing: free version shows a “please purchase” images once a while during the slideshow. There is an in-app payment which removes these images. Another payment unlocks the “Daydream” functionality; this only works on Android 4.2 and higher, don’t purchase if you have Android 4.1 or lower.
Not exactly what you asked but it might be usefull
