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.

Trying to ditch YouTube Music & Spotify for self-hosted music has been a struggle. I've subscribed to YT Premium today.

Here's how my attempts have gone:

  • Nextcloud Music (with Recognize): The web UI is great, has all the features I need. Downside: no transcoding and playback through Subsonic or Ampache clients is slow, sometimes causing server issues.

  • Jellyfin: Streaming works fine, but it doesn't recognize individual artists (my files are in one big folder, so albums are jumbled).

  • Navidrome: Similar to Jellyfin, artist recognition is off and playback isn't as smooth.

I'll try Plexamp next. What else should I try?

All of my songs are stored in NextCloud.

I use Synphonium on my phone, it links to my Jellyfin and I can sync/sort and download directly from there. I use just use Spotify free in Firefox with Ublock on PC, that way I get no ads
