Trouble logging in to self hosted ente photos
I used https://ente.io/blog/self-hosting-quickstart/ and followed the instructions, now on http://localhost:3000 when I put my email address in the login screen it says Email not registered. Why does this happen only on the local self hosted one?

Oh it's useful to mention logging in works just fine on the main website, https://web.ente.io

(i replaced my actual email in the logs with
[my email])Okay so I just tried making an account on localhost with the same email and it worked

But how do I get to see photos/videos I already uploaded to the account, it has nothing currently on localhostente.io and your localhost have different backends and are completely separate - so even though you used the same email address they have different files and database. Are you able to upload photos in your local install?
Ah I see, first time self hosting so I had no idea. 😅
The photos could be uploaded just fine in the local install but then this has me questioning something. If anything happens to my SSD or machine that would mean I lost the local database as well?
yup
if you self host, you need to take care of backup
