Your Ente installation is almost ready!

Required: S3 Storage Configuration

Before you can use Ente, you need to configure an S3-compatible storage service:

1. Go to your Cloudron dashboard
2. Click on your Ente app
3. Click on "Terminal"
4. Edit the S3 configuration file:

   nano /app/data/config/s3.env
   

5. Uncomment the variables you need and fill in your S3 credentials (AWS S3, Cloudflare R2, MinIO, etc.). The file includes commented examples for the previous Wasabi defaults and a generic Cloudflare R2 setup.
6. Save the file and restart your Ente app from the Cloudron dashboard

Next Steps

1. Once S3 is configured, visit your app URL to create an admin account
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 CLI

• The Ente CLI binary is pre-built at /app/code/ente inside the app container.
• Open the Cloudron web terminal (working directory /app/code) and run commands with ente ... or ./ente ....
• The CLI configuration at /app/data/home/.ente/config.yaml already points to your instance (https://<your-domain>/api).
• CLI state is stored under /app/data/cli-data/ so re-logins persist.

Museum Server Configuration

• The active configuration lives at /app/data/ente/server/configurations/local.yaml and is created the first time the app starts.
• Subsequent restarts leave this file untouched, so you can whitelist admin accounts or adjust other settings as documented by Ente.
• Delete the file to regenerate the default template (environment values such as database and S3 credentials are rendered during creation).
