I love self hosting useful apps. I wish finding more things was easier. Right now I self host a jellyfin server and home assistant. When I learned a subscription for home security was $75/mo I said “there has to be something out there” and there was. I pay the developer their $6/mo even though everything works without it. Jellyfin has been amazing for physical media backups. It’s nice to experience old VHSes and DVDs…

I think they're referring to Home Assistant, that's what they found

Because a person might be willing: -to directly support artists with buying the albums or songs at full price, rather than letting Spotify barely pay artists anything for their music (especially independent ones without industry connections) -knowing you own your library and that once you’ve purchased media, there is nothing to take it away other than the sands of time taking back its silicate -one does not need unli…

> to directly support artists with buying the albums or songs at full price, rather than letting Spotify barely pay artists anything for their music (especially independent ones without industry connections) You can't post an open source project on this site without half the thread speculating that you're a grifting sociopath. <1% are going to pay for music on here.

I am curious, with the way you are using “Is your point that people aren’t willing to pay for things if they have a choice not to?

Or is it that independent artists should be grateful that people see their work at all and that “most” people will just think they are a grifting sociopath?

Not sure what your issue with my comment is, but I’m interested in what you meant, as I feel I’m missing context that only you have at the moment.

nginx-proxy becomes almost a must have if you have multiple services and prefer remembering domain names instead of port numbers https://github.com/nginx-proxy/nginx-proxy

Most people will use nginx-proxy [0] or Traefik [1] for front ending home labs with LetsEncrypt certs... Beyond that people will protect them with things like Tailscale [2], Cloudflare Tunnels [3] or even just mTLS [4] for protected access.

Home labbing today has a lot of amazing software and it's hard to keep up!

And as for dashboarding [5] on top of all this there are a lot of options.

Also, for those new to the game who want an easier way to approach take a look at Tipi [6].

Instead of streaming, it would be nice if the server kept flac than transcoded the library and automatically synced it to mobile devices.

Finamp app for Jellyfin can auto-download favourites/playlists/5 latest albums, transcoded by the server. It also mentions being able to lock albums to keep them available offline. Unsure if it syncs without opening the app though.

Sounds like an interesting website. Would you mind sharing the link? Asking for a friend.

The successor to oink was what.cd (most would say), and this site is the successor to what.cd -- it starts with the letters 'Red' and is a synonym for 'erased'.

I love everything about this thread. I can't help but think about the context and what big part it plays here - imagine someone reads this in 1,000 years, they would have to know so many things on so many levels to understand it the way I did.

Self hosted music service doesn't necessarily imply new music discovery problems, because a lot of people still discover music the old non-algorithmic way, by being interested in certain genres, studying labels and artists and going through their albums, adding to their collection what they would love to hear again. Buying and owning the song/album somehow brings me more satisfaction than paying a monthly fee for a s…

honestly the best way to discover new artists for me is last fm. i can look who has similar taste and see what they like. Allways wanted to implement this somehow

I have not explored this in a long time. Moved to ListenBrainz. Will check it again.

Why would I do this over a Synology DiskStation which allows me a hassle-free way to stream my music anywhere I have a internet connection... I use it daily in my car without a problem, going on my 3rd DSM and ~10 years of this setup.

Because not everyone owns a synology. Some of us have home built NAS. Others would prefer something with lower energy consumption like a raspberry pi.

Frigate is worth looking at as well if you have RTSP cameras as part of your security solution.

Why not just have a main page on a single domain that has links to all the services? That way you only need to remember one domain name.

Another reason to have a domain for each is to get TLS for each service in a standard way.
