Piwigo

Piwigo is a free and open-source web-based photo gallery, originally written by Pierrick Le Gall. It is written in PHP and requires a MySQL database. Piwigo can be deployed using various methods in a hosting environment. Users download the current version of Piwigo from Piwigo.org. Either they download the full archive and upload the source code to their hosting environment or they download the NetInstall (a single PHP file), upload it to their hosting environment and let it download the full archive automatically. Many shared web hosting services also offer automated Piwigo installation through their control panel: for example, Piwigo is available in SimpleScripts and Softaculous. Piwigo (originally named PhpWebGallery) was written by Pierrick Le Gall as a personal project in 2001. Inspired by the opensource web forum phpBB that he installed for his university website, he chose the GNU General Public License to distribute Piwigo and start a community around the project. The first version of Piwigo was released in April 2002. In 2002, Piwigo became multilingual.
