Documentation

What Alexandria is, how it is put together, how to install it, and how to use it.

Alexandria is a single-user personal library. It indexes the media and documents already on your disk, records what it finds, and gives you one place to browse, play, read, edit, and organise all of it — without re-encoding, duplicating, or relocating a single file.

These pages introduce the project and point at the detailed specifications that live in its code repositories.


Overview

What Alexandria is, what it handles, and what it deliberately does not do.

Architecture

One Rust core, two transports, and one desktop application — and how a file travels through them.

Installation

Install the desktop application, or build the whole project from source.

Usage

From an empty catalog to a library you actually use.

Repositories

Where the code and the specifications actually live.
