Ente is a self-hostable Google Photos alternative with S3 support and client for web and all major platforms.
The server API server (museum) and the web frontend (ente-web) can be deployed independently and are provided as two separate packages in nixpkgs. It is also possible to deploy only the API server and use a desktop or mobile client only, the frontend is not mandatory.
Setup
Following configuration will enable a basic API server instance.
services.museum = {
enable = true;
settings = {
# TODO add example
};
credentialsFile = "/path/to/secrets/creds.yaml";
environmentFile = "/path/to/env";
};
To host the web client as well, the files from the frotend package (ente-web) can be directly served using a webserver like nginx or caddy.
services.nginx = {
enable = true;
virtualHosts."photos.example.com" = {
enableACME = true;
forceSSL = true;
root = pkgs.ente-web;
};
};
Tipps and tricks
The web-client, the desktop-client and the mobile clients (iOS, Android) all allow using custom, self-hosted servers. To create an account or log into your own server Tap or click the logo in the welcome screen 7 times. This will bring up a setting where you can specify a non-official ente API server.
