Linux project: How to host a photo album

“There are plenty of online services that offer to host your
photos for free, and sites like Flickr and Picasa are excellent
tools for expanding your online social presence. But for most of
us, they’re not ideal for sharing personal photos with family and
friends.

“Even when they offer password-protected collections with
restricted access, sometimes you want to keep your own photos
closer to your own storage. So why not host your own photo
collection?

“The software we’ve opted to use is called Zoph. It’s built
using PHP and a MySQL database, and enables you to import your
collection of photos through a Zip or Tar file, organise them into
albums, set attributes for author and geographical location, and
share them with your friends and family.”
