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.

[scooke]

@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.

[robi]

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

[marcusquinn]

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 no pressure, huh 🥸

[robi]

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

[Nerdrelaxo]

Would love to see it soon in the Cloudron App Store!

[sponch]

@Nerdrelaxo same:)
Mobile App lot of faster than Immich, E2EE

[andreasdueren]

@sponch Yes me too, but I've been struggling with this packaging but also I'm a bit discouraged because I've packaged two apps now but I'm not sure if they'll make it to the app store at all. I udnerstand maintaining apps brings additional overhead but trying to get packages working is an investment I'm not sure I want to make if I don't know if it will actually make it to the store.

[timconsidine]

@andreasdueren this is a continuing issue, the need for easy deployment for custom apps via the App Store, if necessary as unsupported apps.

Big picture view : however hard they try, and even with a bigger team, [@]staff will never be able to keep up with the flow of new software and demand from users for X or Y or very niche Z.

But there are many users who need an AppStore UI/process to install custom apps., rather than manual build and install.
We already have "unstable" as a status.
It would help greatly if there was also "unsupported", requiring only a basic initial review and no ongoing official support or maintenance.
AppDev and less techie users could be more free to explore/extend without creating a burden for Cloudron ops.

[necrevistonnezr]

@timconsidine … but then you get very close to Yunohost and the like that have tons of broken packages…

[scooke]

@necrevistonnezr TRUE. This renders the entire effort suspect. I don't bother using YH anymore, not even to try things out. It'd be a shame if that happens to Cloudron.

[timconsidine]

@necrevistonnezr yes, a risk that must be guarded against

[timconsidine]

@scooke yep. I never look at YH these days.

[andreasdueren]

The current state of the package:

• building from source not using the official docker image
• photos works (finally)
• other apps (cast/auth/accounts) do not yet
• working on a script that will send the OTP via E-Mail instead of having to retrieve from the logs
• my s3 configuration is still hardcoded because making it work was a pain

[nebulon]

Oh very nice progress! So ente also has a requirement for an S3 storage without a fallback to the filesystem?
