Chevereto is a free and open-source image gallery and sharing software written in hypertext preprocessor (PHP) language and paired with a MySQL database with HTTPS support.
As of 3 May 2023, Chevereto is estimated to be used on over 3,500 websites.[1]
Deployment
Chevereto has to be installed on a web server with PHP 8, MySQL and CRON to function,[2] or a computer running the software to serve as a host (network). It could also be installed on a local computer for testing and learning purposes.
Many shared web hosting services also offer automated Chevereto installation through their control panel using a service such as Softaculous.[3]
Overview
Chevereto supports multiple servers, bulk uploading and importing,[4] external storage to services such as Amazon S3 or Linode Object Storage,[5][6] albums, user accounts, and private albums as the main features of the software,[3] although some of these features require a paid license to use.[7] Images are uploaded or imported into Chevereto into albums and categories which can then be viewed by people on the website if it is not set to private.[8]
The software is free for personal use, but lacks certain features such as external storage and guest uploads. The "pro" version of the software costs $79 for commercial use, which only lasts during the major release cycle it was purchased.[9]
Themes
Chevereto does not have downloadable themes or skins. However, the software allows administrators to add custom CSS and JavaScript code and provides preset colour palettes. The various pages also have configuration options.
History
Chevereto was written by Rodolfo Berrios as a proof of concept, the project was initially released on 12 November 2007[10] and was released frequently as nightly builds instead of the traditional versioning it uses today.
In 2011 with the release of version 2.0, Chevereto became multilingual.[11]
Release history
Before 4.0, Chevereto released patches and beta versions approximately every 6 months. Since version 3.20, versions are codenamed after a Spanish word chosen by the project's lead developer.
