@mario I think that the backend is the same for both photos and auth

Hi! Any update on this?

[girish]

It's currently not in the roadmap

Hello ,
Ente makes further progress in self hosting. so, I dare to ask, would you mind to put it on the Cloudron roadmap?

[andreasdueren]

Looks like they have expanded the documentation for self-hosting: https://help.ente.io/self-hosting/

Any chances we can change this? It seems like a better product than Immich to me and I would therefore prefer it.

I bet at some point we save more time as Cloudron users by packaging apps ourselves and documenting the process, maybe improving it via LLM, than waiting for the roadmap

Would like to see it on Cloudron : I use it on my own and got very familiar with it. thumps up

[andreasdueren]

Currently attempting to package this. Frontend and backend are loading but not connecting to each other yet. Will have to investigate when I have a little time.

@andreasdueren feel free to post it in case someone else can contribute a bit that gets passed this point.

[andreasdueren]

@robi Sure: https://git.due.ren/andreas/ente-cloudron/

I had to remove my bucket first because I hardcoded my credentials for testing (I'm a lazy sunofabitch)

[andreasdueren]

Heads up: I used Caddy because It was easier for me to configure. But I'm happy to use another server if anyone has a preference.

[andreasdueren]

nvm I'm switching to nginx

[robi]

@andreasdueren caddy is great, it just doesn't need certs once packaged.

[andreasdueren]

@robi I know but I'm just not getting it to work and the documentation is for nginx so it's probably better to stick with the upstream project

[robi]

@andreasdueren I feel you.

I had similar issues trying to plumb ZeroNet.

[andreasdueren]

Actually, here they are using Caddy?! -.-

[robi]

@andreasdueren Indeed.

If it helps any, you can take a peek at the ZeroNet apache config, it works to take the host nginx proxy and proxy it again to the local running app (for testing in LAMP).

Not sure what you're running into otherwise.

[andreasdueren]

@robi As far as I can tell, both backend and frontend are working fine. Frontend loads but there eis something wrong with the server implementation and it won't connect to the backend. Probably easy stuff but I need a break.

[robi]

It looks like it's just using port 8080 for the front end App facing parts which is configurable in the clients, which then make more HTTP calls to localhost ports 3000-3004 for the backend.

In a LAMP scenario it's one change for the Apache config and the rest is just making the backend run and available.
