  Ente is a beautiful, private cloud for your memories, with apps for mobile, desktop and web.

  At Ente, we use Local AI to deliver features like face recognition and magic search, while respecting the privacy of your photos.

  We’ll now join a cohort of builders pushing technology forward for an AI that is light, private and accessible.

      But with fewer breaking changes.

      Every time an open-source cloud gallery like Ente or PhotoPrism is mentioned, someone is sure to come along and talk about Immich.

      I mean, Immech is cool, yeah, but it definetly is not a gold standart or something. Ente is a much more finished product.

      Yes, except it’s encrypted and funded by an actual business.

    This being self hostable makes me instantly like this. Something like G photos that I could self host and dump a lot of shit off my phone storage would be amazing.

      I use Immich. It does what you described as well.

      Check out immich, I use that self hosted and it’s exactly like Google photos. It even has optional facial recognition.

  I’m not sure why every time I look at this project, it rubs me the wrong way. Anyone found anything wrong with it?

    Its self hostable now, and I’m my playing around with the self hosted version it seems fine

    I just hate the comic style that is used in presentations like this, it is just too cutsey, and I can’t take it seriously

      It’s named “duck,” what do you expect?

    Any guesses why that is?

  Technical question, if it’s e2ee, it means videos can’t be transcoded? Modern smartphones encode video at a bitrate that doesn’t allow real time streaming on 4g

  Ente supports all files that have a mime type of image/* or video/* regardless of their specific format.

  so it handles raw images too?

  source

  • dev_null@lemmy.ml ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Since it’s end to end encrypted, Ente just sees some raw bytes, it has no way to tell if what you uploaded is an image or not. So in practice it supports whatever the client can display, so your browser for the web version.

    • variants@possumpat.io ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Ohhh that makes more sense

      source
  • catloaf@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Considering you can assign any IME to any file, that means technically it supports everything from plain text to proprietary binary data.

    This is a photo gallery that can replace Google photos, while using nextcloud as a photo gallery is a proof of concept that can’t be even considered alpha quality

    source

    • MonkeMischief@lemmy.today ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Hang on there. Yes, NextCloud photos is kinda a dump, not gonna lie. Do not like.

      But Nextcloud Memories is a labor of love, and it’s been freaking AWESOME. A little bit of Docker knowhow and the NextCloud AiO image is a great combo.

      This can also be self hosted and is a much better photo gallery than next cloud.

  Nobody’s ever talking about lychee ?

  Yes okay it’s not GPL or written in a fancy new language (PHP is still alive xD). But it’s simple, elegant, no UX bloat, no ML or IA stuff… Just a plain simple self-hosted photo manager.

  One thing I really liked about it, you can import you external photo’s with .xmp files, just one checkbox away.

  The tag feature is simple but working as expected. Nothing fancy but it does best what’s it’s supposed to do !!

  Call me old boomer but I really like the simplicity of lychee. It’s a bit like how reading an article from miniflux or wallabag… Simple text files without boating your eyes or your brain…

  Just my 2c, nothing yo see here !

    The selfhosted photo management boom happened when Google announced paid plans for Google Photos. That’s why there are lots of alternatives aiming at replicating every feature.

    In my case, I don’t want to manually tag anything. I want a FOSS Google Photos. Nothing more, nothing else. If Immich was orosuction ready I would have akready switched. I haven’t read much about Ente, but I have no interest in the rest because they lack some key feature I really appreciate.

  So, this question comes from someone with no background in development or marketing but, wouldn’t this money be better spent on develoment or marketing of Firefox. I’m a little more worried about having a long term alternative to Chrome based browsers than self hosting photos. This is not a knock on Ente or any other photo hosting script, I am very interested in a fully functional self hosted Google photos alternative, but my priorities start with Firefox.
