Thoughts on Ente Photos? I signed up for the free 10gb plan and they seem pretty good. I really miss being able to search photos and pull them up quickly (as I don't want to be tied to Google or Apple photos anymore).

I’m taken with Ente Photos! It does what I wanted, saves backups of my images as they appear on the Camera Roll.

Search is strong and simple. Natural language prompts work well. “Find a dog with tongue out”, Find a rainy day, etc.

Saves originals including ARW, various RAW formats, and DNG files. The iPhone app is active in the background to post snapshots as they happen.

Plans for external editor and plugin support down the road.

The plan is to put all the Google Photos takeout in a local Ente instance running on the 45homelab HL4. The stack is running. I used Houston UI and Portainer-CE for most of the installation work.

The trick was to edit the @ente quick start script to map the volumes and make other changes. I slipped in an exit after generation of .yaml files was complete.

The health check of Postgres took some fiddling as Rocky 8 Podman was using the early syntax.

Moved to @ente photos. Stopped using Google photos around 2 years ago. Was keeping offline. Finally made the switch.

Gibt es einen cloud Anbieter, der eine schicke Foto Galerie ala und einen sicheren file upload ala kombiniert?

I've been building up my iCloud Photos library since buying the iPhone 3GS way back in 2011, so the inertia is strong.

However, it is the one big thing trapping me in Apple's ecosystem. Thankfully I recently discovered @ente which has been lovingly backing up my entire library for days now.

I'm going to stick to the iPhone for the time being, but I will significantly reduce my iCloud footprint and come down from the 2TB tier. #entephotos #icloudphotos

Use code WZ83V6 for an extra 10GB

@ente
So I've just installed the Android app. How do I set it to backup my entire camera folder? Initially I could only select individual photos, no way to select a folder. Now when I go to settings/backup/folders I can only select our select my initial choice, but I can't find a way to add additional folders/albums.

Am I missing something?

Does anybody have experience with #EntePhotos and #EnteAuth?

#Ente

Uhmmn, why has #EntePhotos been transmitting nearly 5 GB of data while running in background?I have only 22 MB of photos stored online. Any ideas @ente? Using The #FDroid build.

Finally tried #EntePhotos to manage my photos in an encrypted storage and I like it quite a bit! There are some things that bother me though:

1) Tracking / data collection via #Sentry happens right on startup (the #FDroid build appears to have this removed). Not sure if it can be disabled at all (@ente should double-check if that is #GDPR compliant...).

2) #SelfHosting is more complicated than I like. The documentation is kind of basic:
help.ente.io/self-hosting/

Does anyone have practical experience with hosting Ente?
