Ente CLI password not working

Hello again! I have nearly got my ente photos selfhost up and running, but for some reason when I try ente account add, the password does not work. The password is the same as you use to log in on the website, right? Does anyone have an idea as to what I could be missing? Thanks in advance

Museum service healthcheck unhealthy

When using the QuickStart script, the museum service is created with a healthcheck that uses a curl command. Curl does not appear to be installed in the container. Is this something that should be added to the dockerfile?

How to set up CORS using cloudflare tunnel?

Hello! The answer to this may exist somewhere but I cannot seem to find it, and this is my first ever selfhost so I lack a lot of experience. I recently got my ente photos selfhost to work through cloudflare tunnels, however only grey squares show up where the photos and videos are meant to be (I uploaded to the 10gb limit using localhost before). My friend on a different network was also able to create an account, but cannot upload any photos. After some rummaging and looking at a different forum post, my issue seems to be a CORS error, as the people in the other forum post fixed their issues by chainging their CORS.json file. I don't know how to fix this though, I have looked at the ente help article but I don't think the AWS CLI is going to work here and I'm slightly confused about what it does, is there maybe a cloudflare alternative? I tried changing compose.yaml and museum.yaml but neither have fixed anything. Thank you in advance to any help provided! Notes about setup - I used quickstart method - Minio is located on a separate drive in the server to the rest of the ente install (this does not seem to bother the localhost setup)...

Need Help Setting Up Ente with Nginx Reverse Proxy on Proxmox

Hello everyone, I’m new here. I want to self-host Ente on my Proxmox container and make it publicly accessible using my public IP and a domain name — ente.domainname.com. I also run some other services on my server, so I have an Nginx Docker container in a separate container for reverse proxying. My goal is to use Ente only for my family. I’m a bit confused about the MinIO database and how storage is managed. Can everything run inside a single container, or do I need to host additional components separately? Also, should I use my existing Nginx Docker container to proxy traffic from the Ente container to the internet?...

My disk failed - help to recover

My drive with Ente running on it has just failed. 🙁 I keep backups of my compose and museum YAML files plus I have daily backups of the PGSQL DB. I also have my MinIO replicated to two other disks. I recently asked another question about the replication, as the MinIO buckets are not identical sizes.
ie my wasabi-eu-central-2-v3 is 631.3 GiB and scw-eu-fr-v3 is 624.8 GiB and my b2-eu-cen was about 20GB larger than those two. ...

No Public Share Links?

Hey all. I'm selfhosting ente using a single stack in docker with the museum.yaml in the same directory as the compose file. i have everything up and running but the issue I am running into is when I click on the button to create a public share link for an album, nothing is happening. I can't see a link getting created and when I click "copy link" nothing is copied. My docker compose is below with my museum.yaml: ```yaml services: museum:...

Question about Replication

I have replication set up to go to 3 MinIO buckets. It seems to be working. I have gotten past all the errors and troubles I was having initially. No errors appear in logs, all successful replications. But, the bucket sizes are not identical. Shouldnt they be? Also, I expected the bucket sizes to be identical, so that if one of my disks s*** itself, I can just copy everything from another bucket and continue on. Or in worst case, restore my database backup and config files with encryption keys and point to one of the working buckets. ...

Self hosted public link has wrong domain

I originally set up my self hosted instance with a .tech domain and later changed it to .au I have updated everything in museum and compose yamls, any its all working great, except for the public sharing links. For some reason, they still have the .tech domain. If I manually change the domain in the generated URL, for instance: https://ente.DOMAIN.tech/?t=NciYfWNb#5vEnGHGHGSGHSTNvr1ZfJDgrLzLCs6HBU3e65wAEi...

Backup Ente

Is there a recommended way to backup selfhosted ente with multiple users? As far as I know I can only backup with cli, but need to do it manually for each user

Trying to get ente photos to start up upon system boot but cannot figure it out

I am trying my best to get the docker container to start when the server boots up but there are no clear guides on how to do this on the internet, and everything I have tried does not seem to work. How do you do this if you used the quickstart method? Thanks Also this is my first self hosted server so please excuse my lack of expertise...

Drop-In Traefik Override File for Ente

Hello! After a bunch of research and trial and error, I finally figured out how to get the full Ente stack up and running behind traefik! I also figured out how to make it pretty easy for anyone else to do too. Here are the override files - https://github.com/etuckeriv/homelab-stuff/tree/main/ente...

404 - not found on web app

Hey folks, I’m self hosting Ente on my home server and everything’s going great (things work as it should, I was able to increase the storage limit from 10gb, etc). The ONLY thing I cannot figure out is why my main web app keeps showing 404 - Not found error. /login and /gallery all work fine. I can log in and do all the things I need to. It’s just the index that’s showing an error. It wasn’t always like this and I must have tweaked something to break it. Any ideas?...
