Ente - Open sourcing our server
The first two things I saw:
- docker seems to be required
- the download page seems to require javascript
Too much neu hype. Done.
So would this be a good alternative to Synology photos?
Happy to see some alternatives, but I’m a very happy user of PhotoPrism (+PhotoSync) so will stay there for now. Agreed that encrypted at rest isn’t all that helpful for a self-hoster.
If you really want to serve the self-hosting community, please improve your documentation. As someone unfamiliar with this product, I have no idea what to do with this once I clone the repo. I hunted and found a compose.yaml file, but it’s not clear if this is all I need.
The docs directory literally has a stub on getting the repo up and serving and also a note that they are cleaning up and working on the documentation https://github.com/ente-io/ente/tree/main/docs
I swear people will not do even the most basic reading before complaining
