I’d be interested in reports from people who have used or are using Ente for self-hosting.


There's a note on the server readme about self hosting:

https://github.com/ente-io/ente/tree/main/server#self-hostin...


I tried Ente a while ago but decided I liked a self-hosted Photoprism instance better.


Hey, are there any specific features in Photoprism that you liked better?


It has been a while and Ente probably progressed too, but I remember that I looked multiple times at Ente.

However, one feature that I love about PhotoPrism is the performance. I have about 120.000 pictures on my Raspberry Pi and for the most part, the experience is flued (just try opening a picture and hold the right arrow key on your keyboard (just try it in the demo)). I have had local solutions that had problems with that amount of pictures and this one works via network. Other features like face recognition, automatic labels, or the map view are cool too.

Photoprism has a feature list [1] and a demo [2].

Thank you for sharing the demo, it was simple to experience the product. This is a reminder for us to provide one as well :)

Ente now has everything except cross-platform face-recognition (it's desktop only right now), labels and EXIF edits. The first two are being worked on, we should have v1s ready by Q3. Polishing will take a bit longer.

The long-press-to-skim-through albums is very neat, will add this.


Same here.

I currently use photoprism, which is good, but i’m always on the look for a great self-hosted photo app.


I’m using Immich and it’s quite decent. The native app has some annoying glitches.


The AI in photoprism was too embarrassing that I gave up on it. How did you get it working properly?
