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