I love ente, but it doesn't fit this community by the way.

collapsed inline media

Not wanting to sound pedantic tho, sorry.

For me any migration from big-tech is a win. Especially to self-hosted FOSS alternatives that don't require paid licenses.

We don't need a hand full of people doing it perfectly, we need a big mass doing it imperfectly.

That said - I love all those alternatives that we suddenly learn about and hear about. There might be even better solutions for this particular niche.

Thatโ€™s why I choose Jotta cloud over Ente, even though I think that Ente might be a better iCloud replacement

Are they open source?

Never heard of them, but reading their privacy policy:

When you register with Jottacloud, you provide us with your name, your email address and phone number hereinafter referred to as Personal Data.

I just use https://filen.io/ for storage and ente for pictures. Nothing wrong with jotta if it works for you though.

Also, ente is FOSS and self hostable. In that case it doesn't really matter where it's based.

It kinda does if they are required to add a hidden cleverly obfuscated backdoor.

Indeed, sorry. Seems like it can still be self hosted based on another comment?

I looked at this. There is something to be said of hosting your photos separately from your documents, but to me it doesn't seem worth the money. Anyone has a good experience with Ente / seperate photo hosting? I also hear good things about Immich by the way.

[โ€“] undone@lemm.ee 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Self-hosting is possible and without any fees (except your infrastructure) for both Ente and Immich. Personally run Immich for our family at home in our home network and everybody loves it. No cloud fees for Google/Apple photo storage anymore. Handles our current collection of 130K+ photos & videos spanning multiple decades well.

No experience with Ente, but their privacy focus / encryption support sounds awesome. Immich might have a bigger userbase / dev community through Futo / Louis Rossmann. AFAIK no encryption planned there.
