Ente

[scooke]

I just installed this using their instructions for self-hosting. Other than having trouble figuring out what the proper endpoint is (partly due to the need to manually setup a whole bunch of DNS entries for things like /albums, /photos which even after a few hours of fiddling, I couldn't get it), I opted to not use this:, I feel you all should know the real reason: the backend is Minio. Minio is terrific for organizing files which are accessed by software. If you are hoping to drop a folder of folder of folders of pics onto this, and then one day decide you want to use something else, all your pics will be "well organized" but in an arcane folder system which Minio uses. It will NOT be browsable-friendly. You will not be able to get your pics out in a timely and simple fashion. At least, this is what it looks like to me.

You could just use Ente export feature to do the exact thing that you are wishing for.

@jayonrails If you were replying to my concern, I can just see the Forum posts now: "Help, my Ente export isn't working on my library with 12867 images, and 1380 videos! It's supposed to work!"

Good luck and best wishes to whoever uses this, but I'm sticking with whatever lets me leave my media in their existing folders. Back in the day FileRun did this for free, but they now charge 99 EUR. I tried ResourceSpace but it also moves everything around to its own organization.

@scooke perhaps it's time to sign up for manus AI (or insert any other AI coder/agent) and have it build a replacement FileRun just for you.

@robi Actually, I'm still on the free version of Filerun. I've been using it for quite awhile. Once they moved to a paid version they removed the free one for download unless you already had it running. So, I'm good.

@scooke ah I see. I may have an instance of Filerun running as well. Hence a copy of the installer too.

This does look good. Can we have these nice things ? @girish

@andreasdueren said in Ente:

@robi Yes, I think this is not far from running. Don't have time to work on it today unfortunately

time to circle back?

[andreasdueren]

[robi]

@andreasdueren Hehe. just a gentle reminder of a previous completion attempt
