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
    • flux

      If you want to have multi-host redundant storage at home (via e.g. minio or ceph), S3 is a pretty good protocol to provide it.

      S3 is nice in the way it’s not a file system so it can have relaxed semantics, while also providing secure access to individual files over HTTPS via URL signing.

      Some people seem to be stuck in the idea that S3 means cloud hosting. Not sure if that was your view, but it’s worth spelling out sometimes.

        Thank you for posting this. I did not know that S3 can equal anything aside from “amazon hosts this”. TIL
