Been seeing a lot of posts about replacing Spotify and such, so I wrote up a guide on how I did just that (badabingus.ghost.io)

Full disclosure, I'm pretty new to selfhosting myself, and I haven't written a guide like this before, but hopefully this scatterbrained writeup is enough for someone out there lmao

This is just what works for me and how I set it up. Always open to ideas for improvement as well.

Question: did you consider Funkwhale , and if so why did you choose this other stack instead?

EDIT: fix link sry

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Funkwhale is fucking awful. It's awful to setup, it's awful on resource usage, it's awful to manage with multiple users who may share libraries.

I'm not sure how they could fix it without a rewrite.

TBH I chose Funkwhale for my solution because it looked easy and out of the box, I just add a single Docker and subdomain to my existing site.

It wound up being more or less what you describe.

I may well follow OP's guide and nuke my Funkwhale despite the work I put into it and the fact that it does basically work for its intended purpose
