If I signup for Ente cloud, and then later decide to self-host, is it easy to move everything to my own server? Will anything get lost in the transfer, like for example anything related to machine learning?
#Easy to move from Ente cloud to self-host?

Yes, Ente is open source and can be self-hosted. See the self-hosting documentation at /self-hosting/ for complete setup instructions.
Machine learning in Ente powers two main features.

Ente makes it pretty straightforward to export and I think can check what photos you still need even if it got interrupted. Its a bit slow to run, but what you can do is run the export and then transfer the photos from your computer to your self hosted instance. Once its done you can even compare total photos to make sure you got everything over
Machine Learning stuff would have to reprocess, but when i moved my photos what i did is leave my photos transferring overnight and turn on machine lesrning and video streaming, so when i woke up everything was moved over and done processing

I am currently using Ente Cloud, but have been getting more into self-hosting and wanted to try out Ente and Immich that way. I figured since I am already using Ente Cloud, maybe I'd start with Immich to see the UI differences. Long story short, a lot of my metadata was wonky on import to Immich (basically just a ton of photos defaulted to import date, not date taken) and I'm wondering if that would be the same case if I just moved from Ente Cloud to self-hosted as mentioned here. Does anyone know?

Depends, in most cases if it uses imported date it's because the image never had a date taken in the metadata

Hmm, looking back at it, I think these are all older photos from Google Takeout. I wonder if their metadata was scrubbed or something at some point and then I likely manually changed their dates in Ente. Is there any way to retain that date?
I feel like I remember reading metadata (or maybe only location) changes are only reflected in Ente, but my memory isn't what it used to be.
