Is it possible to use family plan when self-hosting?

On the home page of Ente, it states:

Sync your library with your partner, and even designate them as an heir to your account.

This is one of the features that I really appreciate, as it allows me to share my library with my partner.

However, after setting up my own Ente server, I found that the family plan does not seem to be available. My plan always remains the free 5GB plan, even after I use ente-cli to update the subscription.

I'm wondering if there's any way to enable it, or if there's an alternative method to achieve my initial goal of sharing my entire library with another user.

Hey, if you modify the payment-provider attribute to anything other than free, family plan will become accessible.

Please note that

1. Family plan is designed to share your paid subscription, not your library. Each member gets their own private space. This feature might not be valuable in a self-hosted setup.
2. The best way to share your entire library would be to add the other user as a viewer / collaborator to all of your albums. There's a separate discussion tracking a "Share all" feature here: Share all content with another user #787

Thank you for your reply. It appears that #787 is exactly what I need.

I'd also like to know how to modify the payment-provider value in a self hosted setup

I would also love to change this. I feel the UI telling me I'm on a free plan is kind of weird 😄

Where exactly is the payment-provider setting?
