Chevereto Free

About this repo

This is the repository of Chevereto Free, forked from Chevereto 3.X. Chevereto Free has the same look and feel of our paid version, but it packs only the most essential features. It is Open Source software licensed under the AGPLv3 license.

Free vs Paid Chevereto

The paid version includes all features, it gets frequent updates, and it is always up to six months ahead of the free edition. The table below shows the distinctions between both versions.

On most servers, that's all you need. The system has a built-in system check that will tell you right away when you need to fix something on your server.
