Features of Coppermine

Coppermine is an opensource stack powered Photo Gallery and a one click solution by bitnami. It is secure, multipurpose, and full featured gallery. Coppermine is a platform that could run on the cloud - locally or virtually. If any issues occur, it is capable of automatically fixing that, so basically it is error free.

Now, we can follow the steps to create and configure Coppermine Gallery using Azure portal.
