Installation Packages
The packages attached to this release are intended for experienced users and maintainers of third-party integrations only, as they require manual configuration and do not include tested system dependencies. Since we are unable to provide support for custom installations, we recommend using one of our Docker images to run PhotoPrism on a private server or NAS device.
