Chevereto self-hosted - Image and Video Hosting Software | WarmIndex

Chevereto is a self-hosted image and video hosting software that enables users to create their own customizable media sharing website.

Chevereto is a powerful, self-hosted script for building image and video hosting platforms similar to Imgur or Flickr, but with full control over your server, data, and customization.
