Ente (“mine” in Malayalam) is a Free and Open Source, E2EE, privacy-first alternative to Google Photos. The heart of Ente is Museum - the server program built in Golang which does everything to save your photos from the Big Tech.
In this talk, Mangesh will focus on explaining the following things:
- A quick run through what is self-hosting
- How to self-host Ente.
- What are the problems with self-hosting Ente, and how do you tackle these.
- Mangesh will majorly focus on talking more about the technical aspects on why there are complications at certain bits and pieces in the process right now. Ente also lets self-hosters decide on a lot of things like their S3 provider while not restricting them to something the company/project prefers.
- Why you should self-host and self preserve your photos and how it is better in the longer run.
Mangesh also intends to cover the privacy aspects by showing one of Ente’s Weekend projects. They see your photos and how Big Tech is continously monitoring a person’s surrounding (location), emotions and data with the help of AI.
