Complete Record of Open-source Programs for Online Albums

Many friends who love taking photos have asked me how to build an independent photo album website. I recommend them to create an independent blog, but it seems they are not interested in writing and uploading, saying that they only need the photo album. So I decided to gather all these open-source photo album systems. There are many similar articles online, but they seem incomplete. Here, I should have almost all mainstream open-source web photo album source codes, which I am now sharing with everyone.
