-# Ente Cloudron App Build and Installation Instructions
+# Ente Cloudron – Quick Guide
 
-This document provides detailed instructions for building and installing the Ente Cloudron app, an open-source, end-to-end encrypted photo storage and authentication solution.
+## Build
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/andreasdueren/ente-cloudron.git
+cd ente-cloudron
 
-## Prerequisites
+cloudron build \
+  --set-build-service builder.docker.due.ren \
+  --build-service-token e3265de06b1d0e7bb38400539012a8433a74c2c96a17955e \
+  --set-repository andreasdueren/ente-cloudron \
+  --tag 0.4.5
+```
 
-- **Cloudron CLI**: Ensure the Cloudron CLI is installed and configured on your system. Refer to [Cloudron CLI Documentation](https://docs.cloudron.io/packaging/cli/) for setup instructions.
+## Install
-- **Docker**: Required for local testing or custom builds if needed.
+```bash
-- **Git**: To clone or manage the repository.
+cloudron install \
-- **Repository Access**: Ensure you have access to the Ente Cloudron repository at `andreasdueren/ente-cloudron`.
+  --location ente.due.ren \
-- **Build Service Token**: A token for the Cloudron build service is required (provided in the command below).
+  --image andreasdueren/ente-cloudron:0.4.5
+```
 
-## Build Commands
+## After Install
+1. **S3** – In Cloudron File Manager open `/app/data/config/s3.env`, fill in your endpoint/region/bucket/access/secret, then restart the app from the dashboard.
+2. **Subdomains** – In the Cloudron *Domains* tab add aliases for `auth.<app-domain>`, `accounts.<app-domain>`, `cast.<app-domain>`, `albums.<app-domain>` and `family.<app-domain>`. Create matching DNS records pointing at the primary domain (for example, if the app is `ente.cloudron.io`, add `auth.ente.cloudron.io`, `accounts.ente.cloudron.io`, etc. → `ente.cloudron.io`).
 
-1. **Clone the Repository** (if not already done):
+Once DNS propagates, use the dedicated hosts:
-   ```bash
+- `https://<app-host>` (the hostname you chose during install, main UI & uploads)
-   git clone https://github.com/andreasdueren/ente-cloudron.git
+- `https://accounts.<app-domain>`
-   cd ente-cloudron
+- `https://auth.<app-domain>`
-   ```
+- `https://cast.<app-domain>`
+- `https://albums.<app-domain>`
+- `https://family.<app-domain>`
 
-2. **Build the App Using Cloudron Build Service**:
+Check `cloudron logs --app ente.due.ren -f` or `/app/data/logs/startup.log` if anything looks off.
-   Use the provided build service and token to build the app. Replace `<version>` with the desired version tag (e.g., `0.1.0` or as per `CloudronManifest.json`).
-   ```bash
-   cloudron build --set-build-service builder.docker.due.ren --build-service-token e3265de06b1d0e7bb38400539012a8433a74c2c96a17955e --set-repository andreasdueren/ente-cloudron --tag 1.0.1
-   ```
-   **Note**: The build process should complete within a reasonable time. Monitor the output for any errors.
-
-## Installation Commands
-
-1. **Install the App on Cloudron**:
-   After a successful build, install the app on your Cloudron instance at the desired location (e.g., `ente.due.ren`).
-   ```bash
-   cloudron install --location ente.due.ren --image andreasdueren/ente-cloudron:1.0.1
-   ```
-   **Important**: Do not wait more than 30 seconds for feedback after running the install command. If there's an error, the process may hang, and you should terminate it to troubleshoot.
-   **Note**: Always uninstall and reinstall during development rather than updating an existing app to ensure a clean setup.
-
-## Testing Procedures
-
-1. **Verify Installation**:
-   - Access the app at `https://ente.due.ren` (or your configured domain).
-   - Ensure the Ente web interfaces (Photos, Accounts, Auth, Cast) load correctly.
-
-2. **Check S3 Configuration**:
-   - Confirm that S3 environment variables are set in Cloudron app settings under the 'Environment Variables' section.
-   - Variables to check: `APP_S3_ENABLED`, `APP_S3_ENDPOINT`, `APP_S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID`, `APP_S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`, `APP_S3_BUCKET`.
-
-3. **Monitor Logs for Errors**:
-   - Use the Cloudron CLI to view logs:
-     ```bash
-     cloudron logs --app ente.due.ren -f
-     ```
-   - Alternatively, shell into the app for detailed log inspection:
-     ```bash
-     cloudron exec --app ente.due.ren
-     tail -f /app/data/logs/*
-     ```
-   - Look for S3 connection errors or other issues.
-
-## Deployment Steps
-
-1. **Post-Installation Configuration**:
-   - If S3 is not working, update the environment variables in Cloudron app settings and restart the app:
-     ```bash
-     cloudron restart --app ente.due.ren
-     ```
-
-2. **User Authentication**:
-   - Ente uses its own authentication system. Ensure user registration and login work as expected.
-   - If OIDC integration is desired in the future, it can be configured using Cloudron's OIDC variables (`CLOUDRON_OIDC_IDENTIFIER`, `CLOUDRON_OIDC_CLIENT_ID`, `CLOUDRON_OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET`).
-
-## Troubleshooting Common Issues
-
-- **S3 Configuration Errors**:
-  - **Symptom**: App falls back to local storage or logs show S3 connection failures.
-  - **Solution**: Verify S3 environment variables in Cloudron settings. Test connectivity manually using AWS CLI (`aws s3 ls s3://<bucket> --endpoint-url <endpoint>`).
-
-- **Build Failures**:
-  - **Symptom**: Build command errors out or hangs.
-  - **Solution**: Check network connectivity to the build service, ensure the token is correct, and review build logs for specific errors.
-
-- **Installation Hangs**:
-  - **Symptom**: Install command does not complete within 30 seconds.
-  - **Solution**: Terminate the command and check Cloudron logs for errors (`cloudron logs --app ente.due.ren`). Reinstall if necessary.
-
-- **App Not Starting**:
-  - **Symptom**: App shows as 'Stopped' or inaccessible after install.
-  - **Solution**: Check logs for startup errors (`cloudron logs --app ente.due.ren`). Ensure database connectivity and correct configuration.
-
-## Configuration Examples
-
-- **S3 Environment Variables** in Cloudron settings:
-  ```
-  APP_S3_ENABLED=true
-  APP_S3_ENDPOINT=s3.amazonaws.com
-  APP_S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID=your_access_key
-  APP_S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=your_secret_key
-  APP_S3_BUCKET=your_bucket_name
-  ```

 Your Ente installation is almost ready!
 
-## Required: S3 Storage Configuration
+## Required: External Object Storage
 
-Before you can use Ente, you need to configure an S3-compatible storage service:
+Before using Ente, configure an S3-compatible object storage provider:
 
-1. Go to your Cloudron dashboard
+1. Open the Cloudron dashboard and select your Ente app.
-2. Click on your Ente app
+2. Launch the web terminal.
-3. Click on "Terminal"
+3. Edit `/app/data/config/s3.env` and provide values for **all** required keys:
-4. Edit the S3 configuration file:
+   ```bash
-   ```
    nano /app/data/config/s3.env
    ```
-5. Uncomment the variables you need and fill in your S3 credentials (AWS S3, MinIO, DigitalOcean Spaces, etc.)
+4. Save the file and restart the app from the Cloudron dashboard.
-6. Save the file and restart your Ente app from the Cloudron dashboard
 
-## Next Steps
+Supported variables:
+- `S3_ENDPOINT` (e.g. `https://<account>.r2.cloudflarestorage.com`)
+- `S3_REGION`
+- `S3_BUCKET`
+- `S3_ACCESS_KEY`
+- `S3_SECRET_KEY`
+- `S3_PREFIX` (optional path prefix)
 
-1. Once S3 is configured, visit your app URL to create an admin account
+## Required: DNS Subdomains
-2. Configure your mobile apps to use your custom self-hosted server (Settings → Advanced → Custom Server)
+
-3. Enjoy your private, end-to-end encrypted photo storage! 
+Ente now serves supporting apps on dedicated hosts. Create DNS records (CNAME or A) and add matching alias domains in Cloudron for:
+
+- `auth.<app-domain>`
+- `accounts.<app-domain>`
+- `cast.<app-domain>`
+- `albums.<app-domain>`
+- `family.<app-domain>`
+
+For example, if you installed the app at `ente.cloudron.io`, create records for `auth.ente.cloudron.io`, `accounts.ente.cloudron.io`, etc., all pointing to `ente.cloudron.io`, then add each hostname as an alias in the Cloudron dashboard.
+
+## Administration
+
+- Use the bundled CLI from the Cloudron web terminal (CLI state lives in `/app/data/cli-data`):
+  ```bash
+  cloudron exec --app ente.cloudron.io -- sudo -u cloudron ente --help
+
+  # Whitelist an administrator
+  cloudron exec --app ente.cloudron.io -- sudo -u cloudron ente admin user whitelist --email admin@example.com
+
+  # Increase a user’s storage allocation (in GB)
+  cloudron exec --app ente.cloudron.io -- sudo -u cloudron ente admin user quota set --email user@example.com --storage-gb 500
+  ```
+  See the upstream admin guides for further context: [user administration](https://ente.io/help/self-hosting/administration/users) and [CLI reference](https://ente.io/help/self-hosting/administration/cli).
+
+Logs are streamed to the Cloudron dashboard. For deeper inspection use:
+```bash
+cloudron logs --app <location> -f
+```

 - Configured to use Cloudron's mail service for sending emails
 - Easy to deploy and manage through the Cloudron interface
 
-## Requirements
-
-### Browser Compatibility
-
-Ente uses modern web technologies for its end-to-end encryption:
-
-- **WebAssembly**: Required for cryptographic operations
-- **IndexedDB**: Required for client-side data storage
-
-Most modern browsers support these features, but they may be blocked by:
-- Browser privacy settings
-- Content Security Policies
-- Certain browser extensions
-
-This package includes custom Caddy configuration with appropriate security headers to ensure these features work correctly.
-
-### S3-Compatible Storage
-
-Ente requires an S3-compatible object storage service. You can use:
-- Cloudron's built-in object storage
-- External services like AWS S3, Wasabi, or MinIO

 - App origin URL
 
-### Additional Configuration
+### Cloudron Admin Notes
 
-The package includes several enhancements to ensure proper functionality:
+After installing on Cloudron remember to:
 
-1. **Security Headers**: Custom Content-Security-Policy headers that allow WebAssembly and IndexedDB
+1. Open the File Manager for the app, edit `/app/data/config/s3.env` with your object storage endpoint/keys, and restart the app.
-2. **API Configuration**: Dynamic runtime configuration to ensure the frontend connects to the correct API endpoint
+2. Add alias domains for `auth.<app-domain>`, `accounts.<app-domain>`, `cast.<app-domain>`, `albums.<app-domain>` and `family.<app-domain>` in the Cloudron **Domains** tab. Create matching DNS records pointing to the primary hostname (for example, if you installed at `ente.cloudron.io`, add `auth.ente.cloudron.io`, `accounts.ente.cloudron.io`, etc.).
-3. **CORS Headers**: Proper CORS configuration for API access
+3. Use the bundled Ente CLI for admin tasks via `cloudron exec --app <location> -- sudo -u cloudron ente --help`. The CLI stores its state in `/app/data/cli-data` (exposed inside the container at `/cli-data`) and already trusts your app’s API endpoint. Typical workflows:
+   ```bash
+   # Whitelist an administrator (see https://ente.io/help/self-hosting/administration/users )
+   cloudron exec --app ente.cloudron.io -- sudo -u cloudron ente admin user whitelist --email admin@example.com
 
-You need to manually set up and configure:
+   # Increase a user’s storage quota (see https://ente.io/help/self-hosting/administration/cli )
+   cloudron exec --app ente.cloudron.io -- sudo -u cloudron ente admin user quota set --email user@example.com --storage-gb 500
+   ```
 
-- S3-compatible object storage
+The main photos UI continues to live on the hostname you selected during installation.
