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:

I have been on this search myself a few months now and JUST stumbled upon something that fits the bill.

Like, i literally just found it and haven't played with it or investigated too much, but it fits your requirements.

raphson music server is hosted on codeberg now! they left github last year.

it has a great looking interface, integrates with HA, uses subsonic API.

I am greatly interested in learning more about this.!!

Ah, thank you for this! I see in their latest issues that they might even create a demo server. I appreciate you !

no sweat. i am on this very hunt myself and understand the apprehension about relying on stuff that is solely hosted on the hub. granted i am no expert, but it just seems to speak to my FOSS soul to try and stick with FOSS through the whole stack if possible.

in the meantime i am enjoying gonic as the server and mopidy with subidy as the player.

it's not perfect yet but I'm very close.

still on the search though!

I appreciate the recommendations! I’m working on a list of alternatives. I might upload it to Codeberg or somewhere similar once it gets to a decent size.
