Need Help Restoring Encrypted Ente Photos After PostgreSQL Data Loss

Hi everyone,

I need help recovering my Ente Photos data. Here’s the situation:

I was running a self-hosted Ente setup.

I have all my MinIO data (encrypted photos).

I still have my encryption key.

Unfortunately, I accidentally deleted my PostgreSQL database.

I later upgraded to the latest Ente version and signed up again, but none of my old data shows up.


Since I have the encryption key and the MinIO data, is there any way to make Ente recognize or restore my photos?
I assume the metadata and mapping between users/files were in the database, but wondering if there’s any way to rebuild or reimport that?

Any guidance or tools for recovery would be deeply appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
