Been trying it for a little while. It's exactly what I have been looking for.

  • is encrypted
  • can be self hosted
  • edge ML for photo search (not perfect yet)
  • S3 backend #ente @ente@mstdn.social

I'd love to try it out but only self-hosted. And so far I can't get it spun up. To be clear, I'm sure that's a me problem. That said, the instructions are pretty spartan and a few commands to run and "that's it. you can now create an account and login!" but that doesn't work for me.

I currently have Immich running and it's good. But I've had two updates break my install, requiring hours of work to get it back to working reliably. They have a disclaimer that this can happen and isn't ready for production yet, so I don't fault them for that. I'm just on the hunt for something more reliable. Ente seems like it's been around a good while. I just need to figure out what I'm doing wrong. The S3 backend is a pretty great feature, imo.

I got Photoprism, it works much better than immich in that it works and doesn't break. Satisfied my needs, although you need a bunch of android apps. Still, it works and doesn't give me any lip

I've heard good things. I will admit I don't like hiding features that I would consider to be essential behind a paywall. But I may have to give it another try.

That's true, I'm not a fan of the way they handle the paid parts of the app, the user creation and administration is as basic as it gets - and doing it through docker shell or whatever is a huge pain in the ass. But most of the other stuff is sort of ok, I pay for the thing but I rarely if ever use the map. Main thing is it just doesn't crash (knock on wood)
