Fully open source, End to End Encrypted alternative to Google Photos and Apple Photos

maeries, 3 months ago

But is it also ente to ente encrypted?

Someone should get it added to this git project comparing different photo libraries.

I really like Immich and it works great for me. But I will be setting up Ente authenticator self hosted at some point

I can’t tell you how long I’ve wanted to have a self hostable authy alternative with mobile and desktop apps plus a web portal.

Why not just use one of the password managers that also support this? Vaultwarden also has all that.

KryptonNerd, 4 days ago

Lots of people like to keep their 2FA separate from their password manager, so that there isn’t a single point of failure

gaylord_fartmaster, 4 days ago

Sure, but if you’re already going to have your 2FA codes available from anywhere you could possibly want them like that then you’re already sacrificing security for convenience.

I’ll still take my chances with my LAN/VPN-only accessible Vaultwarden instance that manages both passwords and TOTP over anything internet-accessible that handles just one, but to each their own.

bdonvr, 4 days ago

I like them separate, call me weird. I already run Vaultwarden

It looks like a great service, but since I’m already paying for cloud storage (kDrive from Infomaniak) I wouldn’t want to have another subscription.

Although I wouldn’t mind paying once for an equivalent to Google photos which would be storing and going through my pictures on my cloud storage.

Does anyone knows if such a program exists?

I downloaded the mobile app (ios) and i don’t see any way to connect it to your own selfhosted server. You can only create an account with them. Didn’t look further, but it would be pretty weird to first have to create an account with them and only afterwards being able to connect to your own server.

Edit: The access is just deeply hidden. You have to tap 7 times on the login in screen in the app to enter developer settings. There you can enter your own server.

So yeah thumbs up from me!

shield_gengar, 4 days ago

This is why I just used immich instead; couldn’t find a way to self-host ente. Maybe I’ll give it a go again.

They only just added the option to use a self-hosted instance a few weeks ago, if I remember correctly. If it’s not there now, it should be there soon.

Ente really keeps on giving and improving their services, very happy to be a customer!

TheHobbyist, 4 days ago to opensource in Ente encrypted open source alternativ to Google Photos. Can be self hosted and supports S3 backend

I’m a customer and have moved over multiple family members, everyone seems happy. Their face recognition and smart search are still WIP, but they are impressively present, despite being all E2EE, by leveraging local processing. They are making very good progress.

lustrum, 4 days ago

Considering this also. Currently we’re all on my google one plan, however I want to move away.

Any tips?

TheHobbyist, 4 days ago

Yes, actually it can be quite straightforward. What you are probably best off doing is requesting a google takeout and upload that takeout to Ente directly. I have not followed this process myself so I can’t say much about it but it is described here and is probably the easiest way to migrate:

Can I expect ente servers from usual Foss providers ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ Its encrypted and can be self hosted so public servers are possible??

victor9, 4 days ago

Can’t see why not. Personally I’ll be paying for them(ente) to host it for me to support development.

iam0day, 3 months ago to lealternative in ente diventa interamente open source (anche il server)

Grandissima novità!

mac89, 3 months ago to lealternative in ente diventa interamente open source (anche il server)

Interessante, lo trovi superiore a #photoprism ?

iam0day, 3 months ago

Assolutamente si, soprattutto per quanto riguarda UI/UX!

anders, 3 months ago to selfhosted in Ente - Open sourcing our server

@ioslife good competitor to google photos?

corsicanguppy, 3 months ago to selfhosted in Ente - Open sourcing our server

The first two things I saw:

• docker seems to be required
• the download page seems to require javascript

Too much neu hype. Done.

books, 3 months ago to selfhosted in Ente - Open sourcing our server

So would this be a good alternative to Synology photos?

sunbeam60, 3 months ago to selfhosted in Ente - Open sourcing our server

Happy to see some alternatives, but I’m a very happy user of PhotoPrism (+PhotoSync) so will stay there for now. Agreed that encrypted at rest isn’t all that helpful for a self-hoster.
