I got into Ente because I wanted to create photo upload links on a per-even basis - I can tell all my friends, if you take pics or video tonight, upload it at this URL - and it just works. No app necessary, very simple, very cheap. Then from there, I got the photo backup / archive service because why not.

They really are pretty much just what they appear to be. Im a fan.

For what it's worth, Immich supports this too. You can create an album (for each event), create a shared link, allow public anonymous uploads for the shared link, and then give the link to everyone at the event, and ask them to upload their photos. It can be done from any web browser.

I would love to know if there's a way to secure this though. I'm not prepared to have people constantly trying to login to my immich instance so it's only accessible via VPN

		You can use something like Immich Public Proxy to only expose the /share path of your server and keep the main /api path that has everything else behind VPN
