Re: [LUG] Simple photoblog

I like to use a simple photoblog. By this I mean a program which I install on my web site and can then use to upload and show my pictures for the family to see and, possibly, enjoy. I do not mean a website like flickr, tumblr, cheesecake etc. I have no wish to share my pics with the world, just the family.

In the past I have used pixelpost which worked exactly how I wanted. However it looks as if pixelpost has died, at least there seems to be nothing new there for a long time now. That being the case I am looking around for a replacement. I have tried zenphoto and piwigo among others, but don't really like them. I have also looked at atomphotoblog, but I can't get it to install. It asks me for the mysql server name, which I don't understand.

So, does anyone on the list have any suggestions please? I would be grateful for any ideas.

You asked this back in December. My answer now is the same as it was then:

supported. In
fact there has been no activity for more than four years.

Well, that is no use to me or anyone. Eventually it will break.

Why do you think that?

Maybe there have been no updates to it because it works and the people who were doing the updates feel that it's actually a finished product.

Imagine that. Something that actually works and is stable - something you've been using for the past 4+ years without any issues, concerns, etc.
