Chevereto is an image hosting script that allows you to create a beautiful and full-featured image hosting website on your own server. It's your hosting and your rules, so say goodbye to closures and restrictions.
This is the repository of Chevereto Free, forked from Chevereto 3.X. Chevereto Free has the same look and feel of our paid version, but it packs only the most essential features. It is Open Source software licensed under the AGPLv3 license.
The paid version includes all features, it gets frequent updates, and it is always up to six months ahead of the free edition. The table below shows the distinctions between both versions.
| Item | Free | Paid |
|---|---|---|
| Updates | Each 6 months | Monthly |
| Features delay | +6 months | Zero |
| One-click system update | Yes | Yes |
| Upload plugin | Yes | Yes |
| Community Support | Yes | Yes |
| External storage support | No | Yes |
| Manage banners | No | Yes |
| Likes + Followers | No | Yes |
| Facebook, Twitter, Google and VK signup | No | Yes |
👉If you enjoy this software, consider purchasing our paid edition 👏. By buying a license, you contribute to keep development ongoing.
Make sure your server meets the minimum system requirements which are:
- Apache / NGiNX web server
- PHP 5.5.0 (standard libraries)
- MySQL 5.0 (ALL PRIVILEGES)
On most servers, that's all you need. The system has a built-in system check that will tell you right away when you need to fix something on your server.
Chevereto Free can be installed in several different ways, it all depends on what suits you best.
The installer is a single .php file which will download and extract the latest release for you.
- Download the Chevereto Installer
- Upload this file to your target destination (usually the
public_htmlfolder) - Go to your website and follow the instructions
Docker allows you to easily install and maintain all the server dependencies with ease by using automated application containers. The ready-to-use Docker images are under nmtan/chevereto (many thanks to Tan Nguyen)
If your web hosting includes Softaculous/Fantastico, you can install Chevereto Free with just one click. Chevereto Free should be available for one-click install under the "Image Galleries" category.
- Download the latest release of Chevereto Free
- Upload the contents of your download to your server (usually the
public_htmlfolder) - Go to your website and follow the instructions
We will be happy to install Chevereto for you. Just send us an installation request, and we will do all the installation for you for free. This service is only available for cPanel-based web hosting.
For additional installation instructions, refer to our official documentation.
Chevereto has a built-in system that checks for new updates every day via the Chevereto API. The system will notify you when an update is available, and it will guide you through the process.
To upgrade to our paid edition, simply navigate to your dashboard panel and click on the upgrade button.
Chevereto Free is forked from previous paid releases, meaning that it inherits the bugs at that prior stage of development. Since this edition is always several months behind the paid edition, any bug reporting is ignored. For any other issue, feel free to ask in our Community Support.
