Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I have a Jellyfin environment that I often access remotely via Tailscale and a companion app (Jellyfin for Android, Findroid, Symphonium, etc). Lately I have been wanting to sort my Jellyfin-hosted music library using styles, moods, genres, etc to make some of my smaller albums more visible in my library.

I don't want to sit at my PC for hours sorting through tags for each album/artist/track though. I would prefer if I could tag an album/track/etc with a genre, mood, or style tag while I am browsing my library from a companion app via Tailscale.

Does anyone have a solution that would enable this? Perhaps someone has solved this in an even better way than I have envisioned here.

More generally, how do you all tag your music libraries? Any tips?

Can that use the existing config and database?
