Ente - End to End Encrypted Photo Storage For FREE!

"End-to-end encryption, durable storage and simple sharing". Is this the perfect replace for Immich and Photoprism?

Some say Jim's Garage is the best homelab channel. I'd say so.

I'm so glad that you made this informational video. Ente was missing those high quality videos :)

i’m not ready to leave immich just yet but this is looking promising! thanks for sharing this amazing alternative, jim!

[BromZlab]

Nice Jim. Love your work. Like that you mix easy and more "complex" content.

Thank you for covering this so well! I've been researching the best self-hosted photo backup and couldn't find anything this in depth. 🙌 I'm leaning towards Ente mainly to please my family members who have privacy concerns, even with eachother 😂. Ente seems to solve this.

I really enjoyed this video. I myself am going to be looking into deploying immich or nextcloud as part of expanding my homelab but given my server instability issues, I'm not looking at backing up sensitive data nor do I have the budget for an even addequite backup setup yet. I will definitely check this out once I can invest in a backup solution.

Thanks for another great showcase and walkthrough!

Very nice application and it fits nicely with the other components like traefik, piole etc.

A thought: Would it be possible to point the volumes for minio and postgres to an NFS-mount on a NAS for a bigger storage capacity if the docker instance has a limited storage?

I'll probably have to play with the import/export function as it will be ingesting files from a variety of folders, so it will be interesting to see whether it will just dump it all back out by category (as "uncategorised") vs. dumping it back out to the respective source folder structures.

Thanks Jim. Very easy to understand
The ability to import large amounts of data (1.5Tb) from google takeouts will be the deal breaker for me. Immich doesn't cope well and fails too often. Lets hope this is better

Thanks a lot for this.
have a question about managing Docker Compose repo using pin version: is there a way to automatically deploy Docker Compose after updating the Docker Compose file in the repo?

2:01 In these multi-service setups, I am always confused about the role of extra services, here: musem & socat?
I do understand the need for the database or redis, but not the extra components which makes these kind of setup complex, it makes me even wonder if they are not redundant and only needed to enable specific features...

[Techonsapevole]

great tutorial, but i think i'll stay with syncthing for simplicity

[nemac]

Looked into this one a few weeks. Was put off by stuff on reddit.

[aiham_awd]

Where were you a month ago when I was stretching my hair for a way to do it, I ended up finally succeeding, at least for the most part of it as I still struggle with removing the storage limit

[CocoKlein]

thanks for this video i see there is a way to selfhost the webinterface aswell can you make a tutorial for this?

[Ray-icbp]

1. can an existing gallery folder with subdirectories be imported without altering the folder structure ?
2. when directly uploading from a client devices does it create the same folder structure as it exists on the client device ?

[MrSpamcho]

Did you deploy this on a VM or where did you set it up?

[lukascpu]

You're missing crucial part since it's self hosted and using databases - how to perform backup ?

[matycz]

Is it just me who occasionally hears interference?

[HafizAryanSiregar]

can anyone help me, i already follow step by step and i don't know why when i open the ente app, and try to fetch to server, the ente said "failed to fetch"
