To all the friends I never met:

I am running a homeserver with all my music, videos, books, articles, source, etc. here is how you do it↓

  • get a old desktop computer
  • install gnu/linux on it
  • connect it to your router through ethernet
  • install nextcloud
  • install samba, create a smb partition on your new server
  • mount the drive into your regular computer, phone, laptop, tv. smart-stereo.
  • enjoy all your music from anywhere without cluttering your devices with music, movies or books, or articles, or , or, or
  • I usually just use vlc to access any media on my smb share :D just works
  • get the nextcloud-client for phone and your other devices and access your smb share that way if you like and upload fotos, video or music there. :D

Thank me later (also if you use ALL linux devices you can skip the smb part and just use netdriv

I do something similar with Plex. Is it just as smooth as Spotify or is it a little janky like Plex can be.

I've considered doing something like this since I've thrown up the black flag again (fucking streaming services acting like cable). But have been hesitant since music gets released so frequently.

Do you use plexamp? It's very nice and smooth for music

I guess a lot of people are flying the jolly roger since the streaming services split the big IPs 4 or 5 ways
