Chevereto

Chevereto is a self‑hosted platform that lets users run their own image and video sharing website on a personal server. It provides media management tools such as categories, tags, albums, and supports both pictures and videos, while offering granular privacy controls, user registration, profiles, two‑factor authentication, and role‑based permissions. The software includes performance optimizations like CDN integration, caching, and image optimization, and it can be customized through themes, language packs for over 30 languages, and an extensive API.

The system is designed for a wide range of users, from hobbyists and photographers to stores, real‑estate agencies, and community groups, allowing each to configure the site to match specific needs—whether a simple portfolio, a multi‑tenant service, or a full‑featured media hosting solution. Installation is lightweight, requiring a web server, PHP, and MySQL (or MariaDB), with optional Redis support, and it can be deployed via Docker, cPanel, Plesk, or one‑click installers such as Installatron and Softaculous.

Chevereto is released under the AGPL‑3.0 license, offers a free tier without subscription requirements, and is positioned as a stable, open‑source alternative for anyone who wants full control over their media hosting environment.
