+# QSfera
+
+This repository contains the QSfera clients and server as one workspace.
+
+| Component | Directory | Primary local check |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Android app | [`Android`](Android/) | `cd Android && ./gradlew :qsferaApp:assembleOriginalDebug` |
+| Desktop client | [`Desktop`](Desktop/) | See [`Desktop/README.md`](Desktop/README.md) |
+| Server | [`Server`](Server/) | `cd Server && make test` |
+
+## Android automatic photo uploads
+
+The Android app can monitor user-selected Storage Access Framework folders,
+including the camera folder. New media is queued through WorkManager, uploaded,
+and removed from the source folder only after a successful transfer. The
+periodic worker remains as a fallback for document providers that do not emit a
+content-change notification.
+
+## Raspberry Pi server
+
+The production-oriented ARM64 Compose profile, health check, SSD layout and
+backup/restore scripts are documented in
+[`Server/deployments/raspberry-pi`](Server/deployments/raspberry-pi/README.md).
+
+## CI and dependency updates
+
+Root GitHub workflows run Android checks and server security/deployment checks
+from their actual monorepo paths. Root Dependabot configuration covers Gradle,
+Go modules, the server IdP npm project, Docker and GitHub Actions.
