Leaving GitHub. Seeking ethical music server alternatives. (lemmy.world)

I'm gradually removing myself from big tech and this month I'm focusing on leaving GitHub, as well as software hosted there. I'm looking for a self-hosted music server that meets these criteria:

Simple UI - Easy to navigate
Docker support - For hassle-free deployment
Runs on Pi3B
Compatible clients on mobile and desktop
Robust and well maintained - No buggy releases

Current Option:
The only option I've found but not tried is Funkwhale (GitLab).
Site: https://www.funkwhale.audio/
Review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dBcKNoJAso.

GitHub-hosted exclusions:
All the other's I've looked at are hosted on GitHub ( Ampache, LMS Lightweight Music Server, Supysonic, Gonic, Airsonic-Advanced, Koel, Jellyfin, Navidrome). So I won't be using those.

Question:
Does anyone know of other options besides Funkwhale, or have you tried Funkwhale? Thanks!

Aside:
Some reasons I'm leaving GitHub:

... Have you reached out to the devs/maintainers of the projects to find out what their plans are going forward?

Because you may be completely dismissing projects that are in the process (whether its early planning or otherwise) of moving to codeberg or something.

Or even expressed any of your concerns to the devs?

I have. The dev of the software I'm currently using said that they prioritise personal preferences and software tools above anything else. That's not good enough for me.

I've worked in tech and that individualistic attitude is pretty prevalent. I've contact devs not on GitHub to check that they have no intention of moving there. I'm waiting to hear back.
