I’d be interested in reports from people who have used or are using Ente for self-hosting.
Same here.
I currently use photoprism, which is good, but i’m always on the look for a great self-hosted photo app.

#15I want a self hosted photo backup service for family that doesn't need 4gb ram.
I do not need heavy transcoding or stuff. Just a place for people to dump their photos on.
I have looked at some alternatives but they are all resource hungry from respective docs.
If pixelfed can run on php and limited resources , why not some google photos alternative?
Is there something lightweight that let's multiple people to share their photos together.
I have attempted to use pixelfed but that's stupid as it only let's 4 photos per post. Urrgh.

#16I’m looking exactly for something like that. But 2.99 Euro a month is too expensive, when even Apple only wants 99 cents.
Apple's cloud probably gets a better deal on their datacenter's costs and already charged you through your device and app store tax.

Grab a Synology NAS and run their Synology Photos software? It has almost all the features of Google Photos, self hosted and very little maintenance.
