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.

Maybe this is a stupid question, but what do you achieve with self-hosting music? What do you do with it? If it's only on localhost then I could just play the music locally? what is it for? :)

[–] nutbutter@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 years ago

I forward it to my domain, so that I can listen to music in my office or anywhere else.

I have a VPS on hetzner, and I forward all my local traffic through that VPS via TLS-passthrough, not TLS termination using WireGuard amd HAProxy.

To know more about my setup, you can this this. https://blog.aiquiral.me/bypass-cgnat

Depends what you want to play it on. In my house we have:

3 laptops 2 tablets 2 mobile phones (1 android, 1 iPhone) TV

Not all these devices support local storage for music and it's a pain to sync files between them. With Jellyfin the complete library is in one location with a consistent interface. It can also be made available remotely if I choose.

That actually makes a lot of sense, thanks!

jellyfin is a streaming server. get yourself a domain name and you can connect your apps to it from anywhere.

You can stream it wherever you are in the world without having to keep it on your phone
