Balder - Photo gallery

Balder is a photo gallery built in Ruby on Rails. It aims to minimalistically beautiful and simple to use.

You can upload multiple photos in the web interface or bulk upload folders over FTP/SFTP to your server. Image and thumbnail sizes are configurable and can be regenerated at any time. Balder reads and writes EXIF/IPTC tags so you can easily take your photos with you to another application. Photos can be browsed from collections, albums, tags or by location with the Google Maps integration.

Balder is available free and the source can be downloaded from GitHub or Gitorious. The code is released under the GNU General Public License v3. Please contact me if you require an alternative license (for a fee).
