PhotoPrism Documentation

This repository contains the source files of PhotoPrism's documentation in markdown.

They are meant to be parsed with the Mkdocs documentation builder to build the HTML documentation on docs.photoprism.org.

Contributing changes

Pull Requests should use the master branch by default.

Though arguably less convenient to edit than a wiki, this git repository is meant to receive pull requests to always improve the documentation, add new pages, etc. Having direct access to the source files in a revision control system is a big plus to ensure the quality of our documentation.

Building with Mkdocs

First make sure you have Docker and common development tools like make installed on your computer.

Then use this command in the main project directory to download and run the latest version of mkdocs-material:

make pull watch

Now open http://localhost:8000/ in a Web browser to browse the docs.

Editing existing pages

To edit an existing page, locate its .md source file and open it in your favourite text editor. You can then commit the changes, push them to your fork and make a pull request.
