I just pay for ente to host for me so I like the E2EE. If I self hosted I would consider Immich with media stored in an encrypted zfs volume
I used to pay for Ente as well but then I tried Immich & IMO is just so much better. It is THE Google Photos alternative with almost all the features. And as you said, you can get encryption with LUKSing your drive or partitions. I have automated my backups so I am pretty much at ease especially after the stable release.
That's great, do you put it behind a reverse proxy?
Yep. Behind Nginx Proxy Manager and for external access, I use Pangolin on VPS to reverse tunnel to my Home.
