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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I was hoping to go all in with Jellyfin, but it's been absolutely maddening to try to get it to play nice with my curated library. It just makes too many dumb assumptions about artist metadata.

Any other suggestions?

EDIT: I installed Navidrome, then poured over the documentation for the config file and micromanaged every setting. This has allowed me to get damn near close to the exact unobtrusive behavior I had hoped for.

EDIT 2: AFA mobile client goes, I'd absolutely consider paying for Symphonium, if it didn't seem to require my having a Google Play account (fuck that). So instead I'm trying Tempo.

I hate the kid-pidgin, but you make a really good point here:

it's good to stop for second and consider what one's needs actually are.

I mean, this is always excellent.

Too often - you'll see it in this comment thread - we go all out and show our own solution would fit OP's case. And to them it must sound like "if you want a coke from the sev(7-eleven, like circle-k, Ted) you're gonna need a van, a really big spring, a holocaust cloak and a wheelbarrow for sure."

Considering OP's situation, skill level, fuckery tolerance and perseverance is key. Resilio could be all they need, here -- Not elegant, not D.R.Y, not pretty, but its fuckery is low (good g.o.l.f number), but it could be fire-and-forget.

Now, I'm not sure you're not replying to a comment that says the same thing ...just, not as well. Still good advice.
