Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

I use a Plex server and the PlexAmp app wherever I want to listen. There are probably better options, but it's something I set up years ago which was dead simple and requires almost no maintenance.
PlexAmp is an amazing bit of software for a phone. It doesn't translate well to the desktop, but it's still pretty good.
Your flacs will play lossless on wifi, and transcode to 128kbps opus on mobile. You can tweak those settings too.
Most smart TVs have a native plex app available too.
Plexamp is the best music service I’ve ever used and it’s a great way to get into self hosting. Once it’s set up why not add some tv and movies?
Agh Plex always rubs me the wrong way.... It acts like closed source software as much as is possible. Went with Jellyfin and it's been great. But haven't tried music.
I actually plan on switching to Jellyfin soon but I think I’ll keep Plex running just for Plexamp
Take a look at the Finamp desktop client. It comes very close to the Plexamp client from back when I was using Plex.
I have heard symphonium is very good if they are looking at closed source Plex anyway. It works with jellyfin and navidrome.
I just use syncthing to sync all of my music to my phone's SD card. Then PowerAmp since there aren't many fully featured foss music players. I am keeping my eye on Auxio though, keeping it installed and updated.
I run both for a similar reason. It’s the same library, point both services at it and you have more choice of apps. Yet another benefit to self hosting.
I use Jellyfin for all my video but I use Plex for my audio. Plex app is just so much better than finamp.
I started with TV and movies and thought why not add some music!
Yup, that's what we do as well. 30tb of music, TV, and movies. All available to me and my friends wherever we are.
