Does anyone know of a service (ideally docker image - probably with app) that can be used to securely share family pictures?

The idea is, that some relatives don't respect wishes of not posting to social media and to prevent this we want to securely share images they can look at but not do anything else with.

Even if I send an image to my mom and she knows not to post anywhere, maybe my aunt wants to see that picture, asks my mom to send it to her and then she posts it, without us knowing.

Probably only works with an app because a browser can't block screenshots.

Is there anything like this out there? Doesn't have to by anything special. Just a web backend for us to upload pictures and a client (probably through a URL) that can then browse them without allowing for screenshots, sharing, downloading, etc

You may not like this answer but our solution to this is a Google Photos album, locked down so it's invite only. Paired with a social media vigilance keeping an eye out for unauthorized posts. We've only had to treated to kick someone out of the album once. It works well for us. Especially at family events, people post the photos they take too so we have access and they now know not to post on social media.
