That’s why I choose Jotta cloud over Ente, even though I think that Ente might be a better iCloud replacement

It kinda does if they are required to add a hidden cleverly obfuscated backdoor.

Are they open source?

Indeed, sorry. Seems like it can still be self hosted based on another comment?

I tried both (for selfhosting and features) and Immich is way better IMHO

Immich is not really the same thing. Ente is E2E encrypted and that introduces a significant number of hurdles.

For some reason I also find Photoprism to be so much faster than Immich, for no reason I can explain. I use the function to keep photos outside of these services so it may just be a case of Photoprism caching more aggressively or something.

I put my email and password and accepted the termxyet it doesn't want to go to the next section of the registration form

I looked at this. There is something to be said of hosting your photos separately from your documents, but to me it doesn't seem worth the money. Anyone has a good experience with Ente / seperate photo hosting? I also hear good things about Immich by the way.
