# Frequently Asked Questions
### Do Ente Photos and Ente Auth share the same backend?
Yes. 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. But that's not the full list - as long as the
service you intend to use has a S3 compatible API, it can be used.
### How do I increase storage space for users on my self hosted instance?
See the [guide for administering your server](/self-hosting/guides/admin). In
particular, you can use the `ente admin update-subscription` CLI command to
increase the
[storage and account validity](https://github.com/ente-io/ente/blob/main/cli/docs/generated/ente_admin_update-subscription.md)
of accounts on your instance.
