## What it is
Chevereto-Free is a self-hosted PHP image hosting and sharing application that lets users run their own Flickr/Imgur-style website on their own server. It is now superseded by the main Chevereto project at chevereto/chevereto and only supports PHP 7.4 with no PHP 8 support.

## Use cases
- self-host an imgur alternative
- run my own image hosting website
- host photos on my own server with my own rules
- create a private photo gallery site
- share images without third-party restrictions
- build a media sharing community site

## When to choose
- you want a self-hosted image sharing site with full control over content and rules
- you need a mature PHP-based image host that runs on Apache/Nginx with MySQL
- you want an Imgur/Flickr alternative you fully own

## When to avoid
- you need PHP 8 or modern stack support
- you want active development - use chevereto/chevereto instead
- you need video hosting or the newest Chevereto features
