title: Ente CLI for Self-hosted Instance
description: Guide to configuring Ente CLI for Self Hosted Instance

# Ente CLI for self-hosted instance
If you are self-hosting, you can configure Ente CLI to export data &
perform basic administrative actions.
## Step 1: Configure endpoint
To do this, first configure the CLI to use your server's endpoint.
Define `config.yaml` and place it in `~/.ente/` or directory
specified by `ENTE_CLI_CONFIG_DIR` or directory where Ente CLI
is present.
``` yaml
# Set the API endpoint to your domain where Museum is being served.
endpoint:
api: http://localhost:8080
```
## Step 2: Whitelist admin user
You can whitelist administrator user by following this
[guide](/self-hosting/administration/users#whitelist-admins)
## Step 3: Add an account
::: detail
You can not create new accounts using Ente CLI. You can only log in to your existing accounts.
To create a new account, use Ente Photos (or Ente Auth) web application, desktop or mobile.
:::
You can add your existing account using Ente CLI.
``` shell
ente account add
```
This should prompt you for authentication details.
Your account should be added and can be used for exporting data
(for plain-text backup), managing Ente Auth and performing
administrative actions.
## Step 4: Increase storage and account validity
You can use `ente admin update-subscription` to increase
storage quota and account validity (duration).
For infinite storage and validity, use the following command:
``` shell
ente admin update-subscription -a <admin-user-mail> -u <user-to-update> --no-limit
# Set a limit
ente admin update-subscription -a <admin-user-mail> -u <user-to-update> --no-limit False
```
For more information, check out the documentation for setting
[storage and account validity](https://github.com/ente-io/ente/blob/main/cli/docs/generated/ente_admin_update-subscription.md)
using the CLI.

# Configuring your server
Ente's monolithic server is called **museum**.
`museum.yaml` is a YAML configuration file used to configure museum. By default,
[`local.yaml`](https://github.com/ente-io/ente/tree/main/server/configurations/local.yaml)
is provided, but its settings are overridden with those from `museum.yaml`.
If you used our quickstart script, your `my-ente` directory will include a
`museum.yaml` file with preset configurations for encryption keys, secrets,
PostgreSQL and MinIO.
> [!TIP]
>
> Always do `docker compose down` inside your `my-ente` directory. If you've
> made changes to `museum.yaml`, restart the containers with
> `docker compose up -d ` to see your changes in action.
## S3 buckets
The `s3` section within `museum.yaml` is by default configured to use local
MinIO buckets.
If you wish to use an external S3 provider, you can edit the configuration with
your provider's credentials, and set `are_local_buckets` to `false`.
Check out [Configuring S3] to understand
more about configuring S3 buckets.
MinIO uses the port `3200` for API Endpoints and their web app runs over
`:3201`. You can login to MinIO Web Console by opening `localhost:3201` in your
browser.
If you face any issues related to uploads then checkout
[Troubleshooting bucket CORS] and
[Frequently encountered S3 errors].
## Web apps
The web apps for Ente Photos is divided into multiple sub-apps like albums,
cast, auth, etc. These endpoints are configurable in `museum.yaml` under the
`apps.*` section.
For example,
```yaml
apps:
public-albums: https://albums.myente.xyz
cast: https://cast.myente.xyz
accounts: https://accounts.myente.xyz
```
> [!IMPORTANT] By default, all the values redirect to our publicly hosted
> production services. For example, if `public-albums` is not configured your
> shared album will use the `albums.ente.io` URL.
After you are done with filling the values, restart museum and the app will
start utilizing those endpoints instead of Ente's production instances.
Once you have configured all the necessary endpoints, `cd` into `my-ente` and
stop all the Docker containers with `docker compose down` and restart them with
`docker compose up -d`.
Similarly, you can use the default
[`local.yaml`](https://github.com/ente-io/ente/tree/main/server/configurations/local.yaml)
as a reference for building a functioning `museum.yaml` for many other
functionalities like SMTP, Hardcoded-OTTs, etc.

## Replication Ente relies on [S3-compatible](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/s3/) cloud storage for
storing files (photos, thumbnails and videos) as objects.
Ente ships MinIO as S3-compatible storage by default in quickstart and Docker Compose for quick testing.
This document outlines configuration of S3 buckets and enabling replication for further usage.
## Museum
The S3-compatible buckets have to be configured in `museum.yaml` file.
### General Configuration
Some of the common configuration that can be done at top-level are:
1. **SSL Configuration:** If you need to configure SSL (i. e., the buckets are accessible via HTTPS),
you'll need to set `s3.are_local_buckets` to `false`.
2. **Path-style URLs:** Disabling `s3.are_local_buckets` also switches to the subdomain-style URLs for
the buckets. However, some S3 providers such as MinIO do not support this.
Set `s3.use_path_style_urls` to `true` for such cases.

perform basic administrative actions.
## Step 1: Configure endpoint
To do this, first configure the CLI to use your server's endpoint.
Define `config.yaml` and place it in `~/.ente/` directory or directory
specified by `ENTE_CLI_CONFIG_DIR` or CLI's directory.
``` yaml
endpoint:

and subsequently increase the
[storage and account validity](https://github.com/ente-io/ente/blob/main/cli/docs/generated/ente_admin_update-subscription.md)
using the CLI.
For administrative actions, you first need to whitelist admin users.

in the server source code for details about how to define this.
You can use

title: User Management - Self-hosting
description: Guide to configuring Ente CLI for Self Hosted Instance
---
# User Management
You may wish to self-host Ente for your family or close circle. In such cases,
you may wish to enable administrative access for few users, disable new registrations,
manage one-time tokens (OTTs), etc.
This document covers the details on how you can administer users on your server.
## Whitelist admins
The administrator users have to be explicitly whitelisted in `museum.yaml`. You can achieve this
the following steps:
1. Connect to `ente_db` (the database used for storing data
related to Ente).
``` shell
# Change the DB name and DB user name if you use different values.
# If using Docker
docker exec -it <postgres-ente-container-name> psql -U pguser -d ente_db
# Or when using psql directly
psql -U pguser -d ente_db
```
2. Get the user ID of the first user by running the following PSQL command:
``` sql
SELECT * from users;
```
3. Edit `internal.admins` or `internal.admin` (if you wish to whitelist only single user) in `museum.yaml`
to add the user ID you wish to whitelist.
- For multiple admins:
``` yaml
internal:
admins:
- <user_id>
```
- For single admin:
``` yaml
internal:
admin: <user_id>
```
4. Restart Museum by restarting the cluster
## Increase storage and account validity
You can use Ente CLI for increasing storage quota and account validity for
users on your instance. Check this guide for more
[information](/self-hosting/administration/cli#step-4-increase-storage-and-account-validity)
## Handle user verification codes
Ente currently relies on verification codes for completion of registration.
These are accessible in server logs. If using Docker Compose, they can be
accessed by running `sudo docker compose logs` in the cluster folder where Compose
file resides.
However, you may wish to streamline this workflow. You can follow one of the 2 methods
if you wish to have many users in the system.
### Use hardcoded OTTs
You can configure to use hardcoded OTTs only for specific emails, or based on suffix.
A sample configuration for the same is provided below, which is to be used in `museum.yaml`:
``` yaml
internal:
hardcoded-ott:
emails:
- "example@example.org,123456"
local-domain-suffix: "@example.org"
local-domain-value: 012345
```
This sets OTT to 123456 for the email address example@example.com and 012345 for emails having @example.com as suffix.
### Send email with verification code
You can configure SMTP for sending verification code e-mails to users, which
is efficient if you do not know mail addresses of people for who you want to hardcode
OTTs or if you are serving larger audience.
Set the host and port accordingly with your credentials in `museum.yaml`
``` yaml
smtp:
host:
port:
# Optional username and password if using local relay server
username:
password:
# Email address used for sending emails (this mail's credentials have to be provided)
email:
# Optional name for sender
sender-name:
```
## Disable registrations
For security purposes, you may choose to disable registrations on your instance. You can disable new
registrations by using the following configuration in `museum.yaml`.
``` yaml
internal:
disable-registration: true
```

This is fine for trying the web app and verifying that your self-hosted server
is working as expected etc. But if you would like to use the web app for a
longer term, then it is recommended to follow the Docker approach.

```
The above is a multi-stage Dockerfile which creates a production ready static
output of the 4 apps (Photos, Accounts, Auth and Cast) and serves the static
content with Caddy.
Looking at 2 different node base-images doing different tasks in the same
Dockerfile would not make sense, but the Dockerfile is divided into two just to
improve the build efficiency as building this Dockerfile will arguably take more
time.
Lets build a Docker image from the above Dockerfile. Copy and paste the above
Dockerfile contents in the root of your web directory which is inside
`ente/web`. Execute the below command to create an image from this Dockerfile.
```sh
# Build the image
docker build -t <image-name>:<tag> --no-cache --progress plain .
```
You can always edit the Dockerfile and remove the steps for apps which you do
not intend to install on your system (like auth or cast) and opt out of those.
Regarding Albums App, please take a note that they are not web pages with
navigable pages, if accessed on the web-browser they will simply redirect to
ente.web.io.
## compose.yaml
Moving ahead, we need to paste the below contents into the compose.yaml inside
`ente/server/compose.yaml` under the services section.
```yaml
ente-web:
image: <image-name> # name of the image you used while building
ports:
- 3000:3000
- 3001:3001
- 3002:3002
- 3003:3003
- 3004:3004
environment:
- NODE_ENV=development
restart: always
```
Now, we're good to go. All we are left to do now is start the containers.
```sh
docker compose up -d # --build
# Accessing the logs
docker compose logs <container-name>
```
## Configure App Endpoints
> [!NOTE] Previously, this was dependent on the env variables
> `NEXT_ENTE_PUBLIC_ACCOUNTS_ENDPOINT` and etc. Please check the below
> documentation to update your setup configurations
You can configure the web endpoints for the other apps including Accounts,
Albums Family and Cast in your `museum.yaml` configuration file. Checkout
[`local.yaml`](https://github.com/ente-io/ente/blob/543411254b2bb55bd00a0e515dcafa12d12d3b35/server/configurations/local.yaml#L76-L89)
to configure the endpoints. Make sure to setup up your DNS Records accordingly
to the similar URL's you set up in `museum.yaml`.
Next part is to configure the web server.
# Web server configuration
The last step ahead is configuring reverse_proxy for the ports on which the apps
are being served (you will have to make changes, if you have cusotmized the
ports). The web server of choice in this guide is
[Caddy](https://caddyserver.com) because with caddy you don't have to manually
configure/setup SSL ceritifcates as caddy will take care of that.
```sh
photos.yourdomain.com {
reverse_proxy http://localhost:3001
# for logging
log {
level error
}
}
auth.yourdomain.com {
reverse_proxy http://localhost:3002
}
# and so on ...
```
Next, start the caddy server :).
```sh
# If caddy service is not enabled
sudo systemctl enable caddy
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl start caddy
```
## Contributing
Please start a discussion on the Github Repo if you have any suggestions for the
Dockerfile, You can also share your setups on Github Discussions.

other internal services.
By default, Museum runs in local environment, thus `local.yaml` configuration is
loaded.
If `ENVIRONMENT` environment variable is set (say, to `production`), Museum will
attempt to load `configurations/production.yaml`.
If `credentials-file` is defined and found, it overrides the defaults. If `credentials-file` is defined and found, it overrides the defaults.

## Step 2: Download mobile and desktop app ## Step 2: Whitelist admins
## Step 2: Configure apps to use your server 1. Connect to `ente_db` (the database used for storing data
related to Ente).
``` shell
# Change the DB name and DB user name if you use different values.
# If using Docker
docker exec -it <postgres-ente-container-name> psql -U pguser -d ente_db
# Or when using psql directly
psql -U pguser -d ente_db
```
2. Get the user ID of the first user by running the following PSQL command:
``` sql
SELECT * from users;
```
3. Edit `internal.admins` or `internal.admin` (if you wish to whitelist only single user) in `museum.yaml`
to add the user ID you wish to whitelist.
- For multiple admins:
``` yaml
internal:
admins:
- <user_id>
```
- For single admin:
``` yaml
internal:
admin: <user_id>
```
4. Restart Museum by restarting the cluster
::: tip
Restart your Compose clusters whenever you make changes to Compose file or edit configuration file.
:::
## Step 3: Configure application endpoints
You may wish to access some of the applications such as Auth, Albums, Cast via your instance's endpoints through the application instead of our production instances.
You can do so by editing the `apps` section in `museum.yaml` to use the base endpoints of the corresponding web applications.
``` yaml
# Replace yourdomain.tld with actual domain
apps:
public-albums: https://albums.ente.yourdomain.tld
cast: https://cast.ente.yourdomain.tld
auth: https://auth.ente.yourdomain.tld
```
## Step 4: Make it publicly accessible
You may wish to access Ente on public Internet. You can do so by configuring a reverse proxy
with software such as Caddy, NGINX, Traefik.
Check out our [documentation](/self-hosting/administration/reverse-proxy) for more information.
If you do not wish to make it accessible via Internet, we recommend you to use
[Tailscale](/self-hosting/guides/tailscale) for convenience. Alternately, you
can use your IP address for accessing the application in your local network, though
this poses challenges with respect to object storage.
## Step 5: Download mobile and desktop app
You can install Ente Photos by following the [installation section](/photos/faq/installing).
You can also install Ente Auth (if you are planning to use Auth) by following the [installation section](/auth/faq/installing).
## Step 6: Configure apps to use your server

# Upgrade your server
Upgrading Ente depends on the method of installation you have chosen.
## Quickstart
Upgrade and restart Ente by pulling the latest images in the directory where the Compose file resides.
The directory name is generally `my-ente`.
Run this command inside `my-ente/`
``` shell
docker compose pull && docker compose up -d
```
## Docker Compose
You can pull in the latest source code from Git and build a new cluster
based on the updated source code.
1. Pull the latest changes from `main`.
``` shell
# Assuming you have cloned repository to ente
cd ente
# Pull changes
git pull
```
2. Recreate the cluster.
``` shell
cd server/config
# Stop and remove containers if they are running
docker compose down
# Build with latest code
docker compose up --build
```
## Manual Setup
You can pull in the latest source code from Git and build a new cluster
based on the updated source code.
1. Pull the latest changes from `main`.
``` shell
# Assuming you have cloned repository to ente
cd ente
# Pull changes
git pull
```
2. Follow the steps described in [manual setup](/self-hosting/install/manual) for Museum and web applications.
::: tip
If using Docker, you can free up some disk space by deleting older images
that were used by obsolette containers
``` shell
docker image prune

Docker will reuse the existing volumes (`my-ente_postgres-data`,
`my-ente_minio-data`). So your postgres is running off the old credentials,
and you're trying to connect to it using the new ones, and the error arises.

If you're sure of what you're doing, the volumes can be deleted by ```sh
