The apps share the same backend, the same database and the same object +storage namespace. The same user account works for both of them. + +### Can I just self host Ente Auth? + +Yes, if you wish, you can self-host the server and use it only for the 2FA auth +app. The starter Docker compose will work fine for either Photos or Auth (or +both!) + +### Can I use the server with _X_ as the object storage? + +Yes. As long as whatever X you're using provides an S3 compatible API, you can +use it as the underlying object storage. For example, the starter self-hosting +Docker compose file we offer uses MinIO, and on our production deployments we +use Backblaze/Wasabi/Scaleway.
