Ente relies on S3-compatible cloud storage for storing files, and it ships with MinIO as the default S3-compatible storage for quick testing. See the documentation on configuring object storage for more details: https://help.ente.io/self-hosting/administration/object-storage
While the Ente Photos desktop app may work with network drives, it is not recommended due to potential performance and reliability issues. Ente suggests copying files to local storage for upload instead. More details can be found here: https://help.ente.io/photos/troubleshooting/nas#network-drives
For accessing Ente Photos externally, you can configure a reverse proxy. Here's an example Caddyfile configuration for the Ente Photos web app: https://help.ente.io/self-hosting/administration/reverse-proxy#for-ente-photos-web-app
You can also use Tailscale to resolve the MinIO container. More information is available here: https://help.ente.io/self-hosting/guides/tailscale#resolve-localhost3200-in-the-museum-container-to-the-minio-container
When backing up your Ente instance, it's important to backup the Museum, Postgres database, and object storage. The database is essential since it contains information like file-specific encryption keys. More information on backing up your Ente instance can be found here: https://help.ente.io/self-hosting/administration/backup#backing-up-your-ente-instance
You can use Ente's CLI to pull data into your NAS: https://github.com/ente-io/ente/tree/main/cli#readme
