If you’re looking for a free and fully customizable web-based photo gallery solution, MediaGoblin is an open source and freely distributed software project based on open-source technologies. It similar to existing multimedia services, such as Flickr, Picasa, YouTube, SoundCloud and SmugMug.

MediaGoblin is a media publishing platform that can be installed and used by anyone without prior knowledge about installing a web-based multimedia content hosting platform. You can think of it as the perfect solution for displaying and sharing your media files, including photos, videos and music.

The software allows you to effortlessly create your own image gallery and share it with friends and family, as well as to explore the galleries of other MediaGoblin users. New galleries can be created by gathering media files from existing galleries or by uploading media files.

You can install the MediaGoblin script on your own server and integrated with your existing website, as a multimedia gallery. The project can run locally, standalone or on a share service, in the cloud.

It has been designed from the offset to be different from similar product, supporting audio files, presentations, books, videos, ASCII art or even 3D models. Another interesting feature is the built-in multimedia transcoding functionality that will convert your files on the fly.

MediaGoblin is built with extensibility in mind, which means that you can easily add support for other media types, add support for other multimedia services, as well as to integrate it with other applications.

The application is decentralized and built for extensibility, supporting a wide range of media types, including videos. It is part of the GNU project and developed by a community of talended people.

What's new in MediaGoblin 0.9.0:

  • This release is called The Three Goblineers, because we are finally fully embracing Python 3! You could even think of this release as Py-oneering, which it definitely is. Many traditional web service tools are less-than-ideal for federation and so we’ve had to do a lot of rebuilding and retooling. This release represents lots of intense behind the scenes work to make the user experience smoother, as well as some key improvements for MediaGoblin developers and deployers.
  • Federated services use databases in a some fundamentally different ways. We had to make a traditional (rigid) database more friendly for more flexible relationships. The result is similar to the generic foreign key implementation used by Django, but optimized especially for federation. Jessica Tallon did the lion’s share of this work and was aided by Andrew Browning who did extensive testing.
  • We also updated how we handle comments and media collections. On a multi-media service, people will naturally want to reply to comments with videos and to ascii art with songs so we had to make our commenting function support all the available media types. Also, the media collections aren’t just for your personal gallery anymore; they’re also used now in federation and the API as the backbone of a user’s “inbox” and “outbox” feeds. Also, to make life easier on those uploading whole albums of content, if your user has some collections available, these will be presented as a dropdown option while submitting media.
  • In the less visible but equally important department, we updated OAuth and created a “graveyard” system. We updated our code to make better and more secure use of OAuth so that my server and your server can be really sure we are actually talking to each other. The “graveyard” system uses tombstone icons to let you know that an object was removed by it’s original poster. This makes it easy for users to remove media they no longer want to share, while creating as little confusion as possible for other users.
