I’ve been looking for an alternative to Google Photos. My question is, because I’ve created a free account. How good is ente.io?
- Sorry I can’t help, but just letting you (and anyone else looking) that immich.app is the best alternative. - Same as photo prism , don’t know how to create my own server - Immich is leagues ahead of Photo Prism, but Photo Prism is definitely an alternative. - Setting up a server isn’t difficult if you can follow a YouTube video. Are you looking to host it yourself at home? or through a hosted service? - Either way, you could find a YouTube video that is easy to follow along for setting this up with Docker if you’re at all curious. If not, hopefully someone can answer your original question! - In what way Immich is leagues ahead of PhotoPrism? I’ve been looking for an alternative for quite some time and it’s the first time I hear about it. Edit: Ok the demo seems very nice, but the unstable notice makes me think… - One thing to note about immich is that they use a proprietary file structure so you cannot just throw your existing pictures folder at it and have it non-destructively index them. It’s in their roadmap to change this behavior but for me it’s a deal breaker. I use photoprism and it works great for me. - That’s a deal-breaker. Thanks for the heads up 
- I do believe they implemented a basic support for existing library in 1.63.0 release currently on 1.65.0. Though someone correct me if I’m wrong. - Edit: pretty basic implementation but it’s there. 
 
 
 
 
- Thanks 
- omg this is exactly what I’ve been looking for. self hosted photo sharing with collaborative albums!

- lmao. You said you can’t help with ente.io so you clearly haven’t testes all services, but yeah sure, recommend something. Very objective. (Nothing against immich itself, I used it myself and liked it.) 
 
- I’ve deployed a Photoprism Instance, there is everything open source, even the server. You can also buy them managed via PikaPods https://www.photoprism.app/ - I’ve saw it, but truth be told, I don’t know nothing about to deploy my own server… - Making your own server can seem daunting at first, and there is a learning curve at the beginning, but if you like tech it’s a great way to learn how computers and networks work. 
- You can pay for a managed version. See here https://docs.photoprism.app/getting-started/cloud/pikapods/ - I’m not at US, EU or HK…damn, can’t use PikaPods either? 
 
 
 
- I’ve been using it for a couple of weeks now. The migration from G-photos was flawless, and I’m very happy with how polished the service is. - Definetly recommend for someone not looking to selfhost. - Oh and, they give you an extra 10GB for each person refer/if you get refered by someone. So you could have 20GB for just 10$ a year, which is fair enough I think. - Its been good. Can second this recommendation. 
- Thanks 
 
- There’s also Piwigo which can be self-hosted or cloud hosted. - Thanks 
 
- I tested it some time on iOS and it was definitely the closest to google photos I found. The pricing wasn’t appealing to me but I feel like it’s a good service. - Indeed. Very expensive 
 
- deleted by creator - Thanks! 
 
- Ente Photos user here. As happy as I could be. A bit pricey just for photo storage, but works flawlessly. - Check Stingle Photos too. It’s a bit cheaper, but also is E2EE. - It’s expensive, more for me in Argentina. But I’m thinking to pay yearly - Have you tried Filen or MEGA? Filen gives up to 40 GB for free and MEGA starts at 25 GB for free. Both E2EE and have automatic photo upload. - Thanks! I’ll look
