It is available for Mac, Linux, and Windows. The [stable version](https://docs.photoprism.app/release-notes/) and development preview have been built into a single [multi-arch image](https://hub.docker.com/r/photoprism/photoprism) for 64-bit AMD, Intel, and ARM processors. That means, [Raspberry Pi](https://docs.photoprism.app/getting-started/raspberry-pi/) 3 / 4 owners can pull from the same repository, enjoy the exact same functionality, and can follow the regular [installation instructions](https://docs.photoprism.app/getting-started/docker-compose/) after going through a short list of [requirements](https://docs.photoprism.app/getting-started/raspberry-pi/). Existing users are advised to update their `docker-compose.yml` config based on our examples available at [dl.photoprism.app/docker](https://dl.photoprism.app/docker/). ## Back us on [Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/photoprism) or [GitHub Sponsors](https://github.com/sponsors/photoprism) 🎄 ## Your continued support helps us provide [regular updates](https://docs.photoprism.app/release-notes/) and services like [world maps](https://demo.photoprism.app/places).

Thank you! 💜 **When reporting a problem, always include the software versions you are using and [other information about your environment](https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism/blob/develop/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.md) such as [browser](https://docs.photoprism.app/getting-started/troubleshooting/browsers/), browser plugins, operating system, storage type, memory size, and processor.** ## Roadmap ## Our vision is to provide the most user- and privacy-friendly solution to keep your pictures organized and accessible. The [roadmap](https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism/projects/5) shows what tasks are in progress, what needs testing, and which features are going to be implemented next. Please give ideas you like a thumbs-up 👍 , so that we know what is most popular. Ideas endorsed by [silver, gold, and platinum sponsors](SPONSORS.md) receive a [golden label](https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Asponsor) and will be prioritized on the [roadmap](https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism/projects/5). We have a zero bug policy and do our best to help users when they need support or have other questions. This comes at a price, as we can't give exact deadlines for new features. Having said that, funding really has the highest impact. So users can do their part and [become a sponsor](https://docs.photoprism.app/funding/) to get their favorite features as soon as possible. ## Questions? Follow us on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/photoprism_app) or join our [Community Chat](https://gitter.im/browseyourlife/community) to get regular updates, connect with other users, and discuss your ideas.

Issues labeled [help wanted](https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism/labels/help%20wanted) / [easy](https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism/labels/easy) can be good (first) contributions. Because we want to create the best possible product for our users, we have a [set of guidelines](https://docs.photoprism.app/developer-guide/pull-requests) to ensure that all source code submissions are acceptable. They include step-by-step instructions for submitting new features, bug fixes, and documentation improvements. **Reviewing, testing and finally merging pull requests requires significant resources on our side. If it's not just a small fix, it can take several months.** ## PhotoPrism® Trademark ## Our [Trademark and Brand Guidelines](https://photoprism.app/trademark), which may be updated from time to time, describe how our Brand Assets may be used.
