Public sharing setup

Hey. I can't seem to figure out how to setup public link sharing. I have looked into the documentation (https://help.ente.io/self-hosting/faq/sharing) but im still confused. Now when i share the public link it correctly generates with "albums.my-domain.com" but shows login screen just like "foto.my-domain.com". Here im sending part of my compose.yaml file and museum.yaml file (ente runs behind nginx reverse proxy so i added where it is rerouted). How do i set it up correctly? If someone could send an example it would be much appreciated!

Hey there, you don't have to use 2 services, one is enough and configuring web service alone with correct albums origin should do the trick

I'm having the same issue, the albums port is redirecting to a login page.

This help article seems to state differently https://help.ente.io/self-hosting/faq/sharing "You'll need to run two instances of the web app, one is regular web app, but another one is the same code but running on a different origin", but the configs make it seem that 1 instance is able to do both.

That is the intent. It sounds as if you do have it working correctly but are expecting the wrong result. This port is open only to serve shared album links publicly. If you try to just visit the endpoint url, it will redirect you to the official Ente webpage. This is to send unintended public traffic away from your server. If you create a shared link within your logged in instance, it will generate a working public url using that endpoint.

Yes, I mean generated links redirect to the login page of my server. Sorry for leaving that part out.

Does your compose file look like the image above? If so, please uncomment lines 39 & 42.

Sorry about this, this is a deprecated article which will be removed in the new self-hosting docs revision, which you can expect to be released by the end of week. You can just expose the port 3002 in web service and it should work as expected, setting ENTE_ALBUMS_ENDPOINT alone is more than enough

Having the same issue where the generated public links prompt for a login. I am running it as a single service

  web:
    image: ghcr.io/ente-io/web
    ports:
      - 3000:3000 # Photos web app
      - 3002:3002 # Public Albums
      - 3004:3004 # Cast
    environment:
      ENTE_API_ORIGIN: https://ente.mydomain.xyz
      ENTE_ALBUMS_ORIGIN: https://ente-app.mydomain.xyz/albums

  web:
    image: ghcr.io/ente-io/web
    ports:
      - 3000:3000 # Photos web app
      - 3002:3002 # Public Albums
      - 3004:3004 # Cast
    environment:
      ENTE_API_ORIGIN: https://ente.mydomain.xyz
      ENTE_ALBUMS_ORIGIN: https://ente-app.mydomain.xyz/albums

The links generate properly and have the expected format https://ente-app.mydomain.xyz/albums?t=<key>#<album-link> but when navigated to it prompts for a login which is unexpected. Edit: pulled the latest docker image and now it's working. Am running ghcr.io/ente-io/web@sha256:89de130fb9630a25d8d928dce747fc4e2a505af18cecb35089bc8d3300fc552c
