I’ve tried both and had favored Ente for months but I eventually drifted towards Immich. The most obvious reason is that Ente isn’t optimal for self hosting. And it’s rather proof of concept to show they are committed to openness. On the other hand, Immich is built for self hosters.

Ente has client side encryption. That why I initially committed in order to respect privacy of my users. So if you care about the users. Go for it.

I see thanks. I’ll think about it more.

Don’t reverse proxies like pangolin just do the job? Does it have to be VPN in this particular concept? VPN isn’t like immune to vulnerabilities.

In my region, it’s near impossible to receive packages from Aliexpress bc their delivery service is not functioning. I’ve tried in the past. It’s sketchy not because the QC and all but because I can’t even receive the package while Amazon has never failed delivery at least.

This was really helpful! Ty

Didn’t know this was a thing. Thanks!

hey thanks. I flashed openwrt since day-1. so I cannot comment on that. (And I personally bought this router specifically because people mention good thing about openwrt supports it)

I will be doing as you say just to check out but after every bit of resolution i could think of.

I simply have not access to zigbee dongle except for on sketchy Chinese websites. I usually buy those kinds of devices from Amazon.

Yeah matter over WiFi is crazy good even with home assistant! I love those devices. I hope I can get my hands on if I’m financially successful lol

I understand the benefits of zigbee. However, its regional availability is poor. In my country acquiring zigbee hub(?) without going for sketchy options is not feasible.

Limiting the bandwidth for the VLAN zone could be really interesting. Thanks for the insight

Ikr. I hope it’s just icmp ping to whatever address or smth. I don’t have in-depth knowledge of wireshark so might be a tough journey
