What LAMP-Based Gallery Software Would You Use?

Posted by Cliff on from the show-off-your-photography-skills dept.

Zanguinar asks: "I've been a Gallery user for years now. I have a ton of photos, organized by albums, mainly just for use by my family and close friends. However, some of my friends have begun using Flickr. I can't say I blame them, since it's got a great design, and I love the tagging concept. However, I'm not eager to store my photos on somebody else's server, and don't want to pay for the privilege, especially since I already run my own web server. The problem is, I can't find any Flickr-like software to run on my home LAMP setup. All I want is to be able to tag my photos like Flickr and be able to display them by tag, tag intersection, date, and other such fields. Is there an OSS that is doing this?"

    Shameless plug... I wrote it. :-) Simple and sweet, directory-based, fast and secure.

    I had much the same problem, which I attempted to solve with danbooru; after 4 hours of banging my head against ruby on rails and postgres, I decided that there needed to be something which was much like danbooru but a lot easier to set up. Being unable to find such a thing, I made one for myself, and the result is here. (tech info / downloads / etc)

    Gallery is just too slow for me,

    Which part is slow? Poke around at pictures.$mylastname.us and see if that feels slow to you. I've got it on an old server without any performance optimizations and it serves me pictures as fast as my browser can render them. I would expect Flikr's servers to be highly optimized and therefore marginally faster, but the "Gallery is slow" thing, which I've read a few times on this thread, I'm not understanding.

    Do you have it on a slow shared host maybe?
