Kubernetes Helm Chart for Ente Photos
Hey! 
I put together a Helm chart for deploying Ente Photos on Kubernetes and thought you might be interested.
What it includes:
- Museum API server deployment
- All web frontends (photos, auth, accounts, cast, share)
- External PostgreSQL support (CNPG, Zalando, managed DBs)
- S3-compatible storage configuration (AWS, MinIO, Wasabi, Backblaze, etc.)
- Proper secret management with auto-generated encryption keys
- Network policies, Prometheus service monitors, and production-ready defaults
Repo: https://github.com/l4gdev/helm-charts/tree/main/charts/ente-photos
K8S ArtifactHub Link: https://artifacthub.io/packages/helm/l4g/ente-photos
The chart is MIT licensed and published to our Helm repository. I'm happy to offer two options:
1. Copy it into your space - Feel free to adopt the chart into the official Ente repository. I can help with the transition and answer any questions.
2. Documentation contribution - I can write a self-hosting documentation section explaining Helm chart usage, including dependencies, configuration examples, and production deployment best practices.
I've been running this in production and worked through the encryption key formats, S3 bucket configuration, and other setup nuances - all documented in the chart.
Either way, just wanted to share in case it's useful. Let me know!
