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:

-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Yeah... Newer genration are into "put everything in 1 big messed up directory and find all you needs by tags" structure.
I get the gist, but calling directory structure evil is kinda extreme. It allows to structure your thoughts and if somehow your metadata is corrupted, you still have a directory structure.
I work on both front for compatibility issues but nothing beats a well thought directory structure!!
Who called it evil?
I was wondering because all I do is /artist/album/, which is going to be the same logical appearance in navidrome as at would be from a dir structured view so couldn't understand the point.
The difference is the metadata, which I'm much more strict on so I haven't seen these sorts of problems.
I read that somewhere from a github repository maybe even in Navidrome's pull requests or Issues maybe?
I think the argument was that in directory structure you always have to think where you have to put your files and sometimes a file can be at 2 different places at the same time and I do agree to some degree, that's why I use both :) !
Entirely possible, I know they have commented before on not wanting to do it.
Which I kind of get if you're parsing metadata, you'd have to create a whole new method for parse and view which can be a pain. Though I'd hardly call it evil myself since its how I sort too.
I'd agree on having to think and duplicates are possible, but that's possible in so many scenarios.
shrug
Either way metadata I think is important, but ive been a pain about metadata since the 90s (because burning CDs and having the actual track info was awesome).
