Been trying it for a little while. It's exactly what I have been looking for.

  • Works great
  • is encrypted
  • can be self hosted
  • edge ML for photo search (not perfect yet)
  • S3 backend #ente @ente@mstdn.social

I have around 800 GB of photos from me, my dad and my fiance. That would be $ 20 a month. Ok, still not bad, I don't think I could get it much cheaper on a VPS.

For now what I'm doing is running https://immich.app on my laptop at home with a connected external USB drive. It's not e2e encrypted, just with ssl on https. But other than that it seems to have similar functionality.

B2 is about $5/TB.

If you keep your eyes open for deals (LowEndBox) you could find an inexpensive storage VPS. I've got one now providing 2 TB for $5/mo.

Damn, that's a great price. Who is your VPS provider so I can keep an eye out for similar deals?

Would like to hear how it workes out for you if you decide to transfer all 800 GB

I also really wonder, they say face recognition and ML categorization happen on the edge. I guess this would drain the battery quite a lot doing it for the 800 GB and it will take forever.
