    I’m unsure about the end-to-end encryption aspect. While this feature is great for a cloud service like ente.io, it doesn’t really help much in a selfhosted scenario - and might make backups more complicated. Any other opinions on this?

      Would probably be trivial for a local authority to hack your server and collect the necessary info that way.

      I mean that’s the main reason I self-host anyway.

        Remotely hacking into my server is probably harder than just walking into my home with a warrant and confiscate everything.

          1. Yes but then they need to get a warrant.

          2. All the more reason to have it encrypted since they can’t access it even with a warrant and confiscation.

      Do you want your ISP to be able to spy on your private pictures when uploading them to your self-hosted server? End-to-end encryption is a no-brainer every time you transmit private data online
