I want to learn some Binux usage and/or programming skills and provide an easy to use browser based picture gallery on my local home network. My idea is to have a server machine, that is the Linux machine, and store all my photos in it at some file structure or database. Then I want to access and manage (CRUD = Create Read Update Delete) them from browser on a tablet machine or mobile phone, connected via WLAN to that server machine.

My need is for a program or technology which would be suitable for the purpose of easily show and manage that content.

  1. Is there ready program running on Linux to do that?

  2. If I have to build this from pieces, which technologies are needed to provide the minimum requirements of CRUD ability?

I remember I have seen some file providers that show links to files at browser, but how ready products/technologies there is available to build such a thing up to your home machine?

Maybe Coppermine Photo Gallery is useful or can serve as a starting point:

Coppermine is a multi-purpose fully-featured and integrated web picture gallery script written in PHP using GD or ImageMagick as image library with a MySQL backend.

If you want to do it yourself, shouldn't be very hard to do with PHP or a web framework using Python, Ruby etc... (Django, Ruby on Rails etc...).

  • I am Java oriented, so probably I'll start with something like this tutorial.. or then I'll follow up some of these options.. Commented Aug 21, 2012 at 19:12

Similar to Coppermine is also Piwigo. It has better usability in terms of using the UI from a tablet device.

More information about Piwigo:

Other requirements:

This worked at least with this combination: Apache 2.2 and php5-gd. Normal php did not work, the gd version is needed.
