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:

Those are great finds. I use Feishin as a subsonic client and absolutely love it. Unfortunately the Codeberg repo appears to be out of date, while their GitHub one is current. So I think they've migrated to GitHub. https://github.com/jeffvli/feishin

LMS appears to be inactive for over a year on Codeberg too, while their GitHub is active https://github.com/epoupon/lms

It's a pity seeing projects move that way, especially when they clearly put in the effort and had good intentions from the beginning. I might contact those developers, though, and see if they might reconsider. Thanks for the helpful response!

Codeberg or anything hosted in the EU is an unfortunate no-go.

GDPR DoS Bomb made it so - 'right to forget' means that a bad actor can kill a major project by invoking their right to forget, which would mean all code they've ever submitted would have be audited out.

You'd have to rewrite the Git history to pseudonomize the author, which yes, is pretty bad, but I don't see why you'd need to remove the code, unless they genuinely checked in their home address or such.
