CameraHub

CameraHub is a web app for film photography that can be used to track cameras, lenses, accessories, films, negatives and prints, to fully catalogue a collection of photographic equipment as well as the pictures that are made with them.

It replaces an earlier command-line project, called PhotoDB, which has now been deprecated.

Installing CameraHub

There are several ways of installing CameraHub, depending on your needs:

• With Pip

Fixtures

Base data is supplied as fixtures and must be manually imported after installation. These are not idempotent so should only be run once.

This data includes things like EXIF exposure programs, film formats, etc that are required to make CameraHub useful.

There is also some test data like cameras and negatives which shouldn't be imported into a production deployment.
