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 add /app/code to your PATH.
  • A writable CLI config template lives at /app/data/home/.ente/config.yaml for pointing the CLI to your instance.
