They today open sourced their server which can now be selfhosted https://ente.io/blog/open-sourcing-our-server/ https://ente.io/blog/open-sourcing-our-server/

  It's not clear from downloading the mobile app how one would point it to the self-hosted server. I would gladly pay $10-20/mo for Ente apps to use my own backend. Unfortunately I have around 8TB of photos so paying for a storage plan is out of the question.

    This is my question. I don’t actually see any statements from the company here or in the post that you can actually self-host and point the app at your server. The app dumps you in a mandatory sign-up flow with no server url setting possible. It seems more likely this is only open source for audit/transparency purposes. It’s absolutely their right to do this, but they should make it clear.

    This is currently only supported via build flags. Addition of an option in-app is being discussed @ https://github.com/ente-io/ente/discussions/504 https://github.com/ente-io/ente/discussions/504
