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:

And I appreciate the respectful response. "Support" means "contributes to" when I use it. My car does contribute to climate change. The thing is, GitHub is a choice. For some people, driving isn't a choice due to lack of public transport and distance to work. However if I use my car when there is plentiful public services (but I just like to hear my music at full volume in my car), then that is a choice.

So if I'm driving when I have better options, then my actions do support climate change, and I do so knowingly.
