I love ente, but it doesn't fit this community by the way.
Not wanting to sound pedantic tho, sorry.
- That’s why I choose Jotta cloud over Ente, even though I think that Ente might be a better iCloud replacement
  
  Are they open source?
  
  Never heard of them, but reading their privacy policy:
  When you register with Jottacloud, you provide us with your name, your email address and phone number hereinafter referred to as Personal Data.
  I just use https://filen.io/ for storage and ente for pictures. Nothing wrong with jotta if it works for you though.
  Also, ente is FOSS and self hostable. In that case it doesn't really matter where it's based.
- Indeed, sorry. Seems like it can still be self hosted based on another comment?
I tried both (for selfhosting and features) and Immich is way better IMHO
- Immich is not really the same thing. Ente is E2E encrypted and that introduces a significant number of hurdles.
  For some reason I also find Photoprism to be so much faster than Immich, for no reason I can explain. I use the function to keep photos outside of these services so it may just be a case of Photoprism caching more aggressively or something.
I put my email and password and accepted the termxyet it doesn't want to go to the next section of the registration form
I looked at this. There is something to be said of hosting your photos separately from your documents, but to me it doesn't seem worth the money. Anyone has a good experience with Ente / seperate photo hosting? I also hear good things about Immich by the way.
- thanks
