I self host. I'm not going to pay money for someone else to save my photos on another computer when something free (immich) does the same thing for me on my own hardware.
Ente is also able to be self-hosted.
Thanks for posting this. It isn’t overly obvious on their main page. I’m going to try this out. I like that their mobile apps support this as well.
Be sure to try Immich, too. If you don't need E2E it's better in my book. Especially with local-AI powered search, which Ente doesn't have.
Thanks for the extra recommendation. I’ll definitely check it out. What caught my eye mostly was the clean mobile app of Ente. Immach’s mobile app sure looks close. I don’t technically need E2E since I’m self-hosting… Decisions decisions…
That was actually what made my decision. My drive is encrypted at rest, and E2E makes it much harder to do other things I may want to do with my library. For instance, I have a bunch of photography sessions imported as local libraries, so they're just folders on disk I can modify outside of Immich as I want.
Awesome. Thanks!
I’m going to be trying this on my Kubernetes cluster. I don’t suppose either of you (Matt/fmstrat) have that working - do you?
There is an official helm chart for immich that works very well. Whenever there are breaking changes you may need to update the chart version to apply the breaking changes (ie the recent port change). Doing it with helm chart makes it so you don't have to do much more than change 2 version numbers on occasion.

Thank you so much!
Great, so i pay them for me to host my own photos on my own hardware? That makes no sense.
If you pay them, they host it for you: one copy on B2, one copy on wasabi and a backup on scale way.
If you don't pay them, you need to provide a S3 compatible endpoint for storage, a postgresql database and a coordinator. Doesn't need fancy stuff
But you don’t have to pay them for self-hosting. ???
