I tried to make this after Google Play Music died, but I never found any success. Here's my site. You can try it for free: https://inter.tube It supports almost all of Subsonic (highly recommend play:Sub on iOS). FLAC works. I never re-encode your songs, they are kept byte-for-byte. It doesn't support Last.fm (yet?) but I don't think it would be too hard to add. It respects metadata tags. There are still some glitche…

Quick update: I think uploading might be kinda totally messed up right now. I'll check it later after I'm done with my day job. Sorry everyone and thanks for trying it out. Send me an e-mail if you see any bugs and I will take a look.

Airsonic is great and most seedbox services will provide it.

Seedboxen are great if you want high space (low guaranteed reliability?) VPS.

For £5 pcm will get you 2TB, 4TB total bandwidth and enough CPU to saturate the 1gig connection.

Perfect for something like this. You probably won't get transcoding.

Use mpd and call it a day. https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/hiy7gs/guide_to...

I'm also out of touch, and so naturally I use mpd on my little home "server" (Guix System on rockpro64). It serves me well, though sometimes I wished for a more convenient way to tag or rate music.

This is why I am building a Subsonic/Plex/Navidrome replacement, which I've called Coral. My goal is to provide a simple, commercial streaming service-like experience, while fixing every little issue that's bothered me on the other apps. There will be web and desktop apps from day 1 with native mobile apps coming a bit later. I'll be writing a lot more about it in the coming weeks, so let me know if you'd like to know more. I'm aiming to open-source it next month.

I paid for plex, I stream my own music from anywhere via the callback into my home net. I can chromecast, play in-car, whatever. If I have IP "it just works" Its backed on an RPI-4 NAS I built, running the plex arm linux code. I have another RPI-3 in the living room as a headless music source to an amp. In the past I've used HDMI to VGA+audio splitters to scatter output to devices. This is my music, on my disks, unde…

I use Plexamp with a Wireguard tunnel back home. Biggest upgrade to my in-car music listening in years.

Same. I'm actually surprised at how well Plex works without having direct remote access over the Internet. The only port open on my router is the one for Wireguard.

OP has a somewhat complicated setup. Here's an easier one that I use: * Pay $15/month for a VPS (whatbox in my case). * whatbox has a notion of first class apps, including Plex. Click a button in their GUI to install it. * drag and drop your music using whatbox's GUI file browser That's it.

Wow $15 a month? What's in that box, you're not just using it for some music streaming right? I've got my reverse proxy running on a 3.45€ instance from hetzner and I can't imagine you need much more for some music streaming right?

I'm guessing that your Hetzner instance loses when it comes to storage space.

That's too much effort, don't you think.Maybe not for you but for general tech folks.

The negative reactions to you saying $15 are a good example of why there are no good Spotify and Netflix alternatives for people wanting to stream their own media.

People claim to want it, but they put a very low monetary value on it. No new business can survive on $3 a month subscriptions.

what if, and I know this is totally insane/impossible but what if there were some sort of a small non volatile memory type card you could put into a phone with a large amount of storage and then you could put music files on it and just always have them with you! you could even combine that with like some sort of copper conduit to an ear-speaker and then you could have music in very high fidelity and never ever worry about not being able to listen to your favorite tunes, if only there were some such technology I think with modern tech you could even achieve low costs, like $30 for a quarter tera, that should fit at least a few albums
