If we want to build our own "Flickr" there are some options available, such as
- Piwigo (http://piwigo.org/) - Coppermine (http://coppermine-gallery.net/) Piwigo is quite popular with features such as upload from Android/iOS devices and extendable through plugins. Indeed we need server with lots of space.
