Comment on Immich vs Ente ?

The big difference is that ente is encrypted.
By at rest you mean not in transit or something like that?
That may not be the right terminology. I men it’s decrypted when booting and encrypted when it’s unplugged or shut off.
The disk is still encrypted even when turned on, it’s just transparently decrypted when read. I doubt Ente is any different - you store images encrypted on disk, decrypt them to be able to read them as an image, then send it re-encrypted over HTTPS.
