Not sure if this is appropriate on stack overflow but I'll give it a shot. I'm looking for a server software to host pictures, something similar to what ampache is for audio and video.

The features I would like are:

  1. Login with username/password (most of my albums will be private, so distinction between public and private would be nice).
  2. Directory hierarchy, so I can just transfer pictures into the directory.
  3. Easy to download an album. For example, my brother can login with his account, see an album he wants, and click download album, and all the pictures in the album will be zipped into one file for him to download.
  4. Automatic resizing. Suppose all my pictures are 10mb's. I would want the small thumbnails to be created, and a sizable picture to be created when viewing on the web. The original picture will only be used if the user clicks on download image or download album.

I guess I'm looking for something similar to Picasa Web, but I want to host it on my own server so to not have a storage restriction.

I'd like it to be Linux-based, open source if possible, and as lightweight as possible.

I found this and this, but there are just so many out there. Would like you would recommend. Thanks!

have a play with Gallery - you can grab a virtual machine from bitnami:

Gallery is indeed excellent, though you should probably have a pointer to the actual project home page, too; it's at gallery.menalto.com – MadHatter Dec 14 '10 at 7:18
