Getting Started

In this section we explain how to download, install and run PersonalMediaVault for the first time.

• Run it with Docker

However, this may be a bit complex for non technical users. So, if you only need a local vault, go to the Installation section instead.

Installation

Check out the Releases section on GitHub to find pre-compiled installation packages.

Depending on your operating system, we offer you the following installation guides:

• Installation on Linux
• Installation on Windows

The installation guides also explain how to create a vault and run it in your system.

• Compile it from source code
