This is beautiful. AFAIK, the alternatives are either a self-hosted blog (not ideal, strips out EXIF data etc.) or something hideous like Piwigo. Awesome!
Koken might be an other alternative. http://koken.me

Re: Show HN: Lychee — Self-hosted photo-management done right
#22I developed this project in my spare time. It's a self-hosted photo-management-system and a great place to share, store and manage your photos and inspiration. I hope you guys here on HN like it. If you have any questions or feedback, just write it here :) Thanks!
Please keep it open source but make it paid (libre but not free as in free beer), so you can develop more features.
Thanks for sharing.

No - you didn't read what (s)he wrote. You should charge. Charging people real money gets you real users who give you real feedback. It allows you to allocate more money to the development of the project. Providing this tool for free is a cost to you. Sure, allow a certain number of photos free of charge and charge for more.
I also agree. I want to pay for this, not donate. This can be very important for my personal needs and I want to rely on it. If I donate, I don't get the feeling that the project is moving forward.

#27Our server gets hammered by you guys. Here is the direct link to GitHub: https://github.com/electerious/Lychee
Can't I write whatever username and password I want? Should I create the database before hand?

Simple solution, they provide a package that is the program and a friendly service contract which provide help setting it up or adding customization.

Hi, great tool guys! Lovely. During configuration I keep getting an error during the creation of the database connection to mysql: "Connection failed. Unable to connect to host database because access was denied. Double check host username password to ensure that access is permitted" Can't I write whatever username and password I want? Should I create the database before hand?
