Earlier quoted context omitted.

Installing/maintaining mysql or the others is a pain in the ass relative to sqlite (essentially no cost at all). For a personal media library, all write operations are trivially serializable. Sqlite DBs are the easiest to copy to new machines when you upgrade hardware.

Needing to delve into docker stuff is itself a bigger hassle than using sqlite. Which isn't saying much admittedly, but sqlite is basically hassle free in the most extreme way.

People who run this or something similar (Jellyfin, Plex, Navidrome, etc.), what do you use to easily add new music? Do you just log into Lidarr, or are there music players that have a nicer integration for this?

i use rsync from my itunes/music.app library to the smb synology drive that acts as my plexamp library. works very well :)

I make playlists on TIDAL and then download the playlist. Or favorite albums and whatnot, and download them.

I really need something like this for video. Basically a simple website for kids where they can select from pre-approved youtube accounts/videos or upload additional conten. Anyone building sth like this?

Jellyfin + yt-dlp/torrents

This is more or less what we do but recently the Jellyfin iPad client has become very flaky. My suspicion is the JS app's memory usage has grown to a point where it's causing the web view embedded in the app to run out of memory in which case getting newer client hardware should fix it.

I pull music from a wide array of sources (Bandcamp, yt-dlp, etc.), drop each album or release in its own folder in ~/Music, run beets on those files to clean the metadata and consolidate into V0 MP3, then rsync the beets library over to a VPS running Navidrome.

Took a fair bit of scripting and config to get beets working as desired, but the process is pretty close to perfect, and scales well into the terabyte range.

I wish I could have such app to stream music from my NAS. This is very nice though!

I run both Plex and Roon on my Synology NAS. The former is used for videos/photos and to share with the in-laws, while the latter is mostly for my own owned & streamed music. Roon's not cheap, but it works for my various use cases for it.

I just have a Samba Server running as a second docker container and also expose a ytdl service for quick youtube -> server imports
