Ente: has E2EE embedded, the face recognition happens on the clients. Can be self-hostable, so that gives more trust that other providers can launch their own European instances in the future.
I use LUKS on my personal machines, I'm just not sure if I want to enable it for a VPS. Now if you tell me you're doing that without any issue, that's good to know.
this does not protect from an attacker with physical access reading memory.
So in this case, the VPS provider can still access your photos when they are being used by the photos management software?
Seems to be another argument for E2EE embedded photos software.
I mean... Depends on your threat model. Hetzner is a very reputable German hoster. The only way someone is going to try and read and puzzle together memory dumps is if you're under investigation for something seriously heinous.
Shutting the VPS down also solves this.
But really, this is a general problem with every "someone else's computer" solution.
I see. Thanks. E2EE would indeed be nice, but the Immich devs have made it clear for a long time that it woudn't work due to the way Immich has been developed.
LUKS isn't cumbersome, you should really enable it on nearly every Linux system.
Anyways, what do you mean "allowed"?
I have a Hetzner root server set up this way btw, have to ssh in to decrypt the zfs pool before boot.
Do note though, this does not protect from an attacker with physical access reading memory.

E2EE still nice though, wish Immich had it.
