:6642/http://localhost:6642/ Ente is a self-hosted, end-to-end encrypted place to store, share and rediscover your photos and videos on all your devices. This is Ente in a single container, with PostgreSQL, Silo, the community fork of MinIO that is still open source, and a mail viewer for sign-up codes inside. Secret keys and passwords are made for you on first start.
Features
- End-to-end encryption for every photo and video
- All ten Ente web apps, each on its own port: Photos, Public Albums, Accounts, Auth, Cast, Locker, Public Locker, Embed, Paste and Public Memories
- Works with the Ente phone and desktop apps
- Silo (the open-source fork of MinIO) for S3-compatible photo storage
- Built-in mail viewer on port 6634 for sign-up codes, or use your own email server
- No 10 GB limit: every account gets 100 TB by default
How to use
- Open Ente - MinIO S3 from your dashboard.
- Sign up with your email and a password.
- Open the mail viewer at
http://your-zimaos-ip:6634to read your sign-up code. - Type the code to finish signing up.
- In the Ente phone app, tap the first screen 7 times and set the server to
http://your-zimaos-ip:6631. - Upload photos and share albums.
Server address for the apps
The Ente phone and desktop apps need the API address: http://your-zimaos-ip:6631. On the first screen of the app, tap 7 times, then type that address as the server. If you set ENTE_API_URL (your own domain), use that instead.
Ports
Every app has its own port on your ZimaOS address, counted up from the Web App's port (6630):
| Port | App |
|---|---|
| 6630 | Web App (Ente Photos). The mail viewer also answers at /mail/ here |
| 6631 | Ente API - the server address for the phone and desktop apps |
| 6632 | Public Albums (shared album links) |
| 6633 | Photo storage (Silo S3) |
| 6634 | Mail viewer for sign-up codes and other Ente emails |
| 6635 | Accounts app (passkeys and family invites) |
| 6636 | Ente Auth web app (your two-factor codes) |
| 6637 | Cast app (show albums on a TV) |
| 6638 | Public Locker (shared Locker links) |
| 6639 | Embed app (albums inside other web pages) |
| 6640 | Ente Paste (share text that deletes itself) |
| 6641 | Ente Locker web app (store important documents) |
| 6642 | Public Memories (shared memory links) |
The Family, Space and Legacy web apps are not in this image. Ente's own copies are used unless you set ENTE_APPS_FAMILY, ENTE_APPS_SPACE or ENTE_APPS_LEGACY to your own.
Passkeys need the Accounts app on https with a domain name; browsers refuse them on a plain IP address.
Before you install
Change localhost in PUBLIC_URL to your ZimaOS IP, like http://192.168.1.20:6630; phones cannot use localhost. The other apps use the next ports on that address (see Ports above); the phone and desktop apps need the API on 6631. The first start takes about three minutes. Sign-up codes go to the mail viewer on port 6634: open the app logs, scroll to the top and find the line that says "mail viewer login" for its password. To send real email instead, and for the other settings, see the Variables tab; add them in the app settings. If you put Ente behind your own domains, set ENTE_API_URL, ENTE_S3_URL and the ENTE_APPS_* addresses too.
Updating from the old ports (6129-6132)? Your install keeps working as it is. To get the new apps' ports, reinstall the app, or change the ports and PUBLIC_URL to 6630 and up.
The settings in the first table are already in the app settings. To use any other one, open the app settings, add the variable with your value, save, and the app restarts with it. A setting you leave out uses its default.
In the app settings
| Variable | Default value | Description |
|---|---|---|
TZ | $TZ | Your time zone. It is filled in from your ZimaOS time zone. Leave it unless you need another. |
PUBLIC_ | http://localhost:6630 | The address of the Web App, like http://your-zimaos-ip:6630. Change localhost to your ZimaOS IP, or phones and other computers cannot use Ente. The other apps use the same address with the next ports: 6631 API, 6632 Public Albums, 6633 photo storage, 6634 mail viewer, and 6635 to 6642 for Accounts, Auth, Cast, Public Locker, Embed, Paste, Locker and Public Memories. |
Addresses
| Variable | Default value | Description |
|---|---|---|
ENTE_ | — | The API address, if you put it behind your own domain, like https://api.photos.example.com. Leave it out to use PUBLIC_URL's host with port 6631. |
ENTE_ | — | The Public Albums address for shared links, if you put it behind your own domain, like https://albums.example.com. Leave it out to use PUBLIC_URL's host with port 6632. |
ENTE_ | — | The photo storage address, like https://s3.example.com. Phones upload here, so it must be reachable from them. Leave it out to use PUBLIC_URL's host with port 6633. |

ENTE_ | — | The Public Memories address for shared memories, if you put it behind your own domain, like https://memories.example.com. Leave it out to use PUBLIC_URL's host with port 6642. |
ENTE_ | https://family.ente.io | The Family web app address. It is not in this image, so it stays Ente's unless you host your own copy. |
ENTE_ | https://ente.space | The Space web app address. It is not in this image, so it stays Ente's unless you host your own copy. |
ENTE_ | https://legacy.ente.com | The Legacy recovery web app address. It is not in this image, so it stays Ente's unless you host your own copy. |
ENTE_ | https://accounts.ente.io | The old Accounts address, only used to move passkeys made there. Most people leave it out. |
ENTE_ | — | The domain passkeys belong to, like example.com. Leave it out to use the Accounts app's host. Passkeys only work on https with a domain, not an IP address. |
Sign-up and accounts
| Variable | Default value | Description |
|---|---|---|
ENTE_ | false | Set to true so nobody new can sign up. Make your own account first. |

Storage
| Variable | Default value | Description |
|---|---|---|

Email (SMTP)
| Variable | Default value | Description |
|---|---|---|

|---|---|---|
MP_ | — | Your own mail viewer login as user:password. Leave it out to use admin with the password from the app log. |

first start.
**Features**
- End-to-end encryption for every photo and video
- All ten Ente web apps, each on its own port: Photos, Public

tips:
before_install:
en_US: >-
1. Open the app configuration before you install.
2. Find PUBLIC_URL. Change localhost to your ZimaOS IP, for example
http://192.168.1.20:6630 (your own IP will differ). Phones
cannot use localhost.
3. More settings, like your own email server and sign-up, are listed
on the Ente - MinIO S3 page at
https://icestore.hsinghhira.me/app/ente-minio/ (Variables tab). You
can add them now or later in the app settings.
4. Start the installation.
5. Wait about three minutes. The first start sets up the database.
6. Open the app logs and scroll to the top. Find the line that says
"mail viewer login". Write down the password.
7. Open http://your-zimaos-ip:6630 in your browser. Sign up with
your email and a password.
8. Open http://your-zimaos-ip:6634 in a new tab. Sign in
as admin with the mail password. Copy the code from the email.
9. Type the code in Ente to finish signing up.
10. For the phone app: tap the first screen 7 times. Set the server
to http://your-zimaos-ip:6631 and sign in.
