Hi all,
I'm looking for a web photo gallery for my personal web server at home. Till now I've done the galleries manually from Adobe Photoshop Elements, but I feel that is a dead end, kinda', besides the fact that the galleries created are rather static. I'd like an easier way to do this, eg uploading images in folders directly to the gallery and it will take care of what needs to be done automagically, like resizing etc.
So far I've come across a project called Gallery2, that seems to do what I want. Downside is that no rpm-packages are available with yum with this one.
What web photo gallery software do you guys use?
My requirements are only that the software should be simple to install, maintain and add more photos. I'm not a pro (a newbie more like it...) when it comes to mysql and php, so this needs to be easy to do as well, from the gallery standpoint.
In the past I have made galleries with konqueror - not on centos, but with kde3, so I'm guessing that it works on centos. I'm not at a centos desktop at the moment, so I can't check, but it should be a menu entry in konqueror.
It is, however, creating a static gallery. It wouldn't be so easy for others to add photos, so may not meet your needs.

New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org Just found a cool new feature? Add it to UserBase
CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Picasa3 can sync local albums to its web service. I'm quite happy with it (although I'd prefer some open source replacement.. but there's none as of yet), give it a try.

I've actually looked at Picasa already, and it looks nice and all, but I feel I'd like a local gallery that *I* can control. As you say, open source is preferable. Still, if I fail finding something suitable I'll go for Picasa or something like it off-site.

Konqueror?? That's a new one. Will check it up. Depending on what it can do it might do the trick.
I don't really need others to add photos, just me. 8-) That doesn't necessarily mean it shouldn't be simple to do it. Tedious uploads and such only means I won't use the software in the long run. 8-/
Thanks for the Konqueror hint!
