    I’m super happy with self hosted Ente. It was really simple to setup, mobile app is perfect and local ML works great. I can recommend!

        How does the replication work when you self-host? I know their hosted version has backups, but I’m assuming you’d have to set your own up.

        Also, have you seen any easy way to move to and/or from their self-hosted version?

          Prinary storage is VPS hard disk, secondary hot is Backblaze B2 and cold storage is Scaleway glacier

          I’m not sure, I’m assuming that you would need to export all data from their version and import it to self hosted
