Coppermine Photo Gallery
Feature-rich PHP photo gallery with albums, user management, and comments
Overview
Coppermine is a long-running self-hosted photo gallery application built in PHP that supports albums, nested categories, user registration, comments, and e-cards. It provides a traditional web gallery experience with thumbnail generation, watermarking, and extensive admin controls. Suitable for photographers wanting a public-facing portfolio site.
Where it falls short of Google Photos
- UI is dated and not mobile-first
- No automatic organization or AI tagging
- No Docker image; requires manual LAMP stack setup
We list the gaps honestly so you can decide if the trade-off is worth owning your data.
