Which Photo database are most using: Piwigo or Koken? Why?
So I'm looking to migrate off Photos II and to either Piwigo or Koken. I'm leaning towards Piwigo since I saw some older posts about Koken possibly going away. Either way, I like to hear from others who have tried them both and why they decieded on one over the other. I see both are listed in our apps store but it seems the versions may be a bit out of date? Does anyone know if those packages come with the lastest SQL or PHP? The information is lacking on the App store and most of the time the 'more info' link on the apps just takes you to a generic website.
Thanks!

Hi NASguru,
Given the current update with ReadyNAS, the app developers might still be working to update the apps as well. Lets wait for some feedback from other posters as well.
Regards,
I have not tried Koken, but I thought I's share some problems I had with Piwigo.
If you want to use it mostly like Photos, it may not be an issue. But I had problems using it with a dynamic IP. In some cases, user registration and other emails contained my (at that time) IP address rather than my No-IP URL. I had some conversations on their forum with another user and we worked out how to fix it, but it could only be done by editing some of their files. Thus, the fix did not survive an update.
The group for which that web site was run no longer exists, so I have not kept up with whether these issues were addressed in an update or still exist.

Bummer and too bad you don't have a link to their forum on what files were actually edited. I'm suspecting that any free or open source photo database is going to have limited support. Per their website: http://piwigo.org/ a new release was done in July so there must be some support still there.
Anyone try this simple photo database? https://lychee.electerious.com/
