Linking this old project that is still somewhat maintained. I used this ages ago and deployed it for some friends. I hope some day people take interest and fork this project. [1] This is not my project, just something I have found useful in the past. Self hosting provides some additional control and reduces censorship. I hope there are still some PHP developers out there.

Screenshots would be of great help

Good point. Their main website does not use HTTPS but they do have some screenshots of demo sites. [1] It appears anyone can submit their gallery site, so browse with care.

I tried the first 18 and not a single one is working.

All of this gives me phpnuke vibes. Would not recommend.

Yeah his site has been around since 2001 and I doubt he bothers to clear out dead sites. That's why I would love to see someone fork this and give it the much needed TLC, especially removing the need to disable safe_mode in PHP.

this is the simplest gallery software I ever used

just drop it into apache. create a gallery virtualhost on your machine, use apahe's userdir to create a gallery userdir and then every user on your machine can just drop in pictures into ~/gallery/ and it just works (thumbnails, different sizes, htaccess for security).
