What is Lychee?
Lychee is a free, open-source photo management and sharing web application released under the MIT licence and maintained by the LycheeOrg community. It runs on your own web space, letting you upload, organise, tag and publicly share photos without handing them to a third-party service. A separate Supporter Edition adds extra features.
Licence: MIT · Built with: PHP · Official site: lycheeorg.github.io
Common uses
- Personal photo library you control
- Portfolio or client photo delivery
- Private family photo sharing
- Public photo gallery with password-protected albums
Lychee requirements
- PHP: PHP 8.4 or later (per the manual installation docs)
- Database: MySQL 5.7.8+ / MariaDB 10.2+, PostgreSQL 9.2+ or SQLite3
- PHP extensions: bcmath, ctype, dom, exif, fileinfo, filter, gd, json, libxml, mbstring, openssl, pcre, PDO, Phar, SimpleXML, tokenizer, xml, xmlwriter
- Apache or nginx web server
- Optional: imagick, PhpRedis, FFmpeg (video thumbnails) and Exiftool (metadata)
- Composer and npm are needed when building from source
Current Lychee needs PHP 8.4 or newer with a fairly long list of PHP extensions, so the account must be set to a matching PHP version. Building from source needs Composer and npm, whereas the Softaculous one-click installer avoids manual setup.
Why host Lychee with Hostripples
- One-click Lychee install from Softaculous inside cPanel, with no manual upload or database setup
- All-NVMe storage and LiteSpeed Enterprise with LSCache for quick page loads
- Selectable PHP versions per site and CloudLinux account isolation with CageFS
- Free SSL, daily JetBackup backups and Imunify360 malware protection
- Free migration of an existing Lychee site, and 24×7 support in English, Hindi and Marathi
