I wonder how it compares to Immich

I've been reading a bit on the topic, they fit two different use cases

  • you can selfhost: Immich
  • you want to use a provider or prefer E2EE embedded: Ente (e.g. you want to host it on a VPS and not bother with drive encryption)

There's also https://zeitkapsl.eu/en/ that offers E2EE , but no selfhosting

Ente Auth (a 2FA alternative to the deprecated Authy), icing on the cake. Heard about Ente but never looked into. Thanks for explaining differences!
