PhotoPrism® is a server-based application for browsing, organizing and sharing your personal photo collection.
2018-10-13 17:40:57 +02:00
It makes use of the latest technologies to automatically tag and find pictures without getting in your way.
2020-06-23 20:47:57 +02:00
Say goodbye to solutions that force you to upload your visual memories to the cloud.

Step-by-step installation instructions can be found on [docs.photoprism.org ](https://docs.photoprism.org/getting-started/ ) -
2020-06-23 20:20:24 +02:00
all you need is a Web browser and Docker to run the server. It is available for Mac, Linux and Windows.
2018-10-07 15:47:56 +02:00
2020-06-23 20:20:24 +02:00
Next, you'll have to [index or import ](https://docs.photoprism.org/user-guide/library/import-vs-index/ )
2020-06-23 20:37:26 +02:00
existing files. Please be patient, this will take a while depending on the size of your library.
2019-12-16 12:59:03 +01:00
2020-06-23 20:20:24 +02:00
Already indexed photos can be browsed in [Photos ](https://docs.photoprism.org/user-guide/organize/browse/ )
while videos show up in [Videos ](https://docs.photoprism.org/user-guide/organize/video/ ).
Counts are continuously updated in the navigation.
2020-02-18 10:59:13 +01:00
2020-06-23 20:20:24 +02:00
If photos are missing, they might be in [review ](https://docs.photoprism.org/user-guide/organize/review/ ) due to low quality or missing metadata.
You can turn this and other features off in [Settings ](https://docs.photoprism.org/user-guide/settings/ui/ ), depending on
your specific use case.

## Funding ##

2020-01-26 10:56:22 +01:00
This project is about freedom and privacy but not necessarily about free beer. We feel like it
would be a mistake to state there will be no costs, because clearly we have huge expenses, your server hardware
2020-01-09 23:57:55 +01:00
will have a price tag and then maybe you'd like to have some extra features that need to be developed.
2020-01-04 20:19:50 +01:00
2020-01-26 11:07:52 +01:00
It's fair to say that users with basic needs will have no monthly costs. We were also way more effective
per dollar than commercial projects and learned a lot on top of it.

An earlier version of this document contained a rough number, but at the end of the day it doesn't matter.

2020-06-22 15:35:57 +02:00
Most established OSS companies make the bulk of their revenue with enterprise customers, that's why private users
2020-01-09 23:57:55 +01:00
and single developers typically get everything for free. Obviously that doesn't work if you have only private users
2020-06-22 15:49:19 +02:00
that refuse to share their data on top of it.
2020-01-09 13:23:31 +01:00
2020-01-09 23:57:55 +01:00
Looking forward, specific solutions for funding development and maintenance could be to...
2020-01-04 20:19:50 +01:00
2020-01-04 22:03:10 +01:00
- sell a tested & supported version in the app store while our contributors and other developers can
2020-01-04 20:19:50 +01:00
continue to use Docker or build from source
2020-06-22 15:35:57 +02:00
- provide additional features to users who support us financially, maybe with a different license similar to GitLab
- develop a one-click solution for private cloud hosting together with selected providers we trust
2020-10-19 12:02:04 +02:00
- offer a geodata, public events, and maps subscription since OpenStreetMap doesn't want us to use their development
2020-01-09 13:23:31 +01:00
API for production, which is perfectly fine
2020-01-04 20:19:50 +01:00
