Their local approach to ML is to be praised, I just wish we had different terms for Edge (cloud servers running close to users) vs Edge (end user devices).

Great now I just need Google's export/data migration feature to actually work.

Interesting I’d never even heard of this before. I was fairly certain I’d seen all the common open source solutions, but apparently not.

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

I’m looking exactly for something like that. But 2.99 Euro a month is too expensive, when even Apple only wants 99 cents.

It seems to have been open sourced very recently.

The UI looks great. Couldn't find any info about self hosting but I did find a feature request in GitHub Issues [1].

I guess I'll stick with Immich [2] for now.

Edit: Found a Reddit AMA [3] from the CEO and I'm happy to know that self hosting is a goal in the long run.

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

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