Wow. I’ve only just started testing it against GP, but it’s really slick and works really well. Lots more fine control than GP, and the only thing that isn’t quite as good is the photo editing on the app and web site, and that is on the roadmap. Oh, and I can’t see how to set up TLS but I might just be missing something.
I self host. I’m not going to pay money for someone else to save my photos on another computer when something free (immich) does the same thing for me on my own hardware.
Ente is also able to be self-hosted.
Thanks for posting this. It isn’t overly obvious on their main page. I’m going to try this out. I like that their mobile apps support this as well.
Be sure to try Immich, too. If you don’t need E2E it’s better in my book. Especially with local-AI powered search, which Ente doesn’t have.
I’m going to be trying this on my Kubernetes cluster. I don’t suppose either of you (Matt/fmstrat) have that working - do you?
Thanks for the extra recommendation. I’ll definitely check it out. What caught my eye mostly was the clean mobile app of Ente. Immach’s mobile app sure looks close. I don’t technically need E2E since I’m self-hosting… Decisions decisions…
Great, so i pay them for me to host my own photos on my own hardware? That makes no sense.
But you don’t have to pay them for self-hosting. ???
If you pay them, they host it for you: one copy on B2, one copy on wasabi and a backup on scale way.
If you don’t pay them, you need to provide a S3 compatible endpoint for storage, a postgresql database and a coordinator. Doesn’t need fancy stuff
