Software alternatives for cpucollection website?

[Cpuswe]

So, running a website is a continuous struggle against time.

Practically you are more or less continuously moving, upgrading, changing OR you freeze time and cling to whatever works. I have done the later for http://www.chipdb.org (and my own collection site) for the last 7-8 years and now it comes to and end. The software i have been using is dead. No activity, few updates and incompability with new PHP and MySQL. And i need to move to a new server and re-install everything.

The solution in the short term is to rip the whole site with wget as static html pages and move it. But that gives no more updates ( as if there has been ). I still have an idea to continue the work some day.

But, anyone have any ideas of software to use and that can be hosted on a Linux server and nginx?

Just a really simple gallery software that can handle lots of categories and subcategories without getting cluttered. No fancy stuff, just thumbnails and pics organized and perhaps the possibility to add a note to the image. Not a gallery in Wordpress if i can avoid it.

Thanks!

This is a list of hosting alternatives, which i already have in place. My question is more about what specific gallery software to run on my server.

Found two that perhaps would fit but not sure they can handle a couple of hundred categories and subcategories and make them easily browsable.

Do you know how JOHN (CPUshack) to manage their photos??

You may take reference with it.

Ancient. and unsupported these days as well, it does work with modern PHP though, I think I originally installed that 20 years ago (pre wordpress)

I liked it because it parsed images from the directory structure and created everything from that
