AI-Generated Contributions

AI-generated contributions are not accepted.

Pull requests, patches, documentation, translations, issues, or other contributions that are substantially generated by generative AI or large language models will not be accepted.

Contributors are expected to understand, author, and take responsibility for the work they submit. Tools such as linters, formatters, autocomplete, spellcheckers, and other non-generative development tools are unaffected by this policy.

PHP Support

Notice: While older unsupported PHP versions might work, we recommend using the recommended version.

  • PHP 8.5 (Recommended) - Our baseline for testing/Docker images.
  • PHP 8.4 (Supported) - Active support ends 31 Dec 2026.

Reference: https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php

Database Support (Please report any regressions)

  • MySQL 8+ is officially supported (Strict mode is not default).
  • MariaDB 11+ is officially supported (Strict mode is default).
  • PostgreSQL 14+ is best effort as of writing (Not recommended).

Notice: We need to improve the ecosystem to test/validate the codebase to be database agnostic, but this will require considerable engineering effort. Thank you for your understanding.

Official Documentation

  • As of September 2026, we recommend using Docker compose to run your instances. Non-docker is obviously supported, but the Dockerfile will be maintained and updated with best practices and latest releases.

Documentation for Pixelfed can be found on the Pixelfed documentation website.

API/Developer Documentation

API and Developer documentation for Pixelfed can be found on the Pixelfed Developers website.
