looking for a simple photo gallery web server setup

Hi,

I have Arch running on my low powered AMD HP microserver and am looking at letting relatives,friends etc see my photos over the web.

I have php and sqlite3 already installed and dyndns setup.

What further would I need (I'm looking for as painless, light and small as possible setup)

Cheers

Yes - I've tried that and could try a few different setups until I find what I want.

I was more looking for any recommendations especially from someone who has set something like this up before.

BBGallery looks good and simple to me but needs GIMP (I have a headless server so don't really want to install extraneous sw)

No real life experience, but if I were to set up a webserver for this, Gallery3 would be my choice, simply because it is built on top of the Kohana PHP Framework. It is also one of the best image gallery-apps available with an extensive userbase.

Ok - I finally settled for lighttpd and generated my album using jalbum (on Windows) which I scp'd over. Simple with nothing funky going on.
