hello,

im really tired of google music and spotify, and want to self host my downloaded music and create my library.

however, i know nothing about self hosting. My knowledge is absolutely zero. And Im completely lost about how to self host my own music. Dont find any good tutorial for dummies and i have a lot of question. I dont understand nothing. I see the tutorials of Navidrome and Ampache and still understand nothing. All of that looks extremely complicated to me.

How can i self host my music? I need to pay something? A very old and slow pc is enough?

Im completely lost. If someone can suggest something - like a tutorial , dunno - to build/self host my own music I appreciate a lot.

Agh Plex always rubs me the wrong way.... It acts like closed source software as much as is possible. Went with Jellyfin and it's been great. But haven't tried music.

I actually plan on switching to Jellyfin soon but I think I’ll keep Plex running just for Plexamp

Take a look at the Finamp desktop client. It comes very close to the Plexamp client from back when I was using Plex.

I have heard symphonium is very good if they are looking at closed source Plex anyway. It works with jellyfin and navidrome.

I just use syncthing to sync all of my music to my phone's SD card. Then PowerAmp since there aren't many fully featured foss music players. I am keeping my eye on Auxio though, keeping it installed and updated.

I run both for a similar reason. It’s the same library, point both services at it and you have more choice of apps. Yet another benefit to self hosting.

I use Jellyfin for all my video but I use Plex for my audio. Plex app is just so much better than finamp.
