Immich vs Ente ? (lemmy.world)

Chosing the right photo app for my family

So, Immich vs Ente, this is my last piece of the selfhosted puzzle. Please help me make an informed decision:

Immich

on the plus side, it seems to have more features and it has a gazillion integrations with other selfhosted software. Downside: breaking changes are fairly common AFAIK.

Ente

looks like the opposite, more mature, scoped and less integrated.

Am I reading this right? Am I missing something?

Edit: Thanks everyone, I'm going with immich!

There is also photoprism although its become less popular than immich over the last year or two. What are your requirements? That would help folks give you good recommendations.

I faintly remember they had some paywalled features or something like that. Is that true?

Some of the GUI functions for user management are paywalled. Its nothing I've found to be problematic in my use case.

@warmaster — Immich’s integration sprawl is its strength but also the achilles heel I hit last month when a breaking change borked our 3-day-old sync pipeline. Ente’s scoped approach felt like a breath of air after that; we ended up rolling our own lightweight version in Go just to avoid the churn. Immich’s selfhosted Discord is great for edge cases, but if your family doesn’t need Jellyfin thumbnails or Grafana dashboards, Ente’s simplicity might save you the scripting overhead. I wrapped the trade-offs here https://cxgo.ai/l/pti2J6s in case it’s useful — just a messy markdown file from my notes.
