Hi peoples!

I’m on Apple Music but I want to expand my setup with music hosting but I have no idea how to approach it. Right now I have nothing and know nothing haha. So if you had a guide or would like to share your setup that would be awesome :)

Everything from a player, through downloader, to organiser and whatever else is needed. I heard that lidarr works in Albums, which I usually don’t use. I’m a “I hear a song, I like it, I save it, forget the author or album” kind of person 😅

Or maybe it’s not worth it at all I don’t know haha

Thanks :)

    For playback (ie, self host your own streaming service), you want Airsonic or Navidrome, with any Subsonic compatible app on your devices.

    You can also go Jellyfin with Finamp, but it’s a video service first, whereas the others are much more audio focused.

    For audiobooks and podcasts, Audiobookshelf. It has its own app.

    For downloading music, you want Lidarr or Headphones. Fair warning, the music torrenting scene really died off with Spotify, so you’ll probably want to get on some Usenet groups to have good sources for the releases you want.

    If you want to add audiobooks, Readarr can apparently handle that.

      +1 for Navidrome and any *sonic client. Been using this setup with Wireguard for years.

      I’ll plug another subsonic compatible server here: gonic. It does not have a web player ui, which saves on RAM. And it is really fast too.
