Symphonium is a great Android music player which connects to a Subsonic or Jellyfin server (or any other protocol like SMB).

Navidrome is a music server which implements the Subsonic protocol. This means apps like Symphonium can connect to it.

Any old PC is enough, even a Raspberry Pi is fast enough for a music server.

Install Navidrome on the server/pc
Configure Navidrome (open ports, add your music library/folder)
Connect a subsonic-compatible music app to to the server (I.e. type in IP or domain as well as the port).

Anything more like SSL (https) and a domain is optional for getting it working, and only a benefit if used outside of your home network. Using Tailscale makes a domain/SSL unnecessary and also no longer needs messing around with networking (e.g. no opening ports on the router).

Can confirm. I have an arm board from 2010 with 256MB of RAM. it hosts music fine through minidlna and still has memory and cpu free

On the topic of SMB. If OP is mostly interested in accessing the music from their phone, a symfonium + SMB server setup may be even easier than setting up navidrome

I checked out Tailscale, and my 👀 popped when I realized what it does! 😄

I proceeded to install it on my phone, only to realize a moment later that my connection was down. I headed over to my Rethink DNS firewall and saw that Tailscale had taken over my VPN connection, causing Rethink to shut everything down (as it’s supposed to).

Now, unfortunately, I’m probably gonna find out that Tailscale works like this and that I cannot use it because I’d have to drop my firewall? 🙈

  Yes, the restriction to a single VPN client is annoying.
  
  Blocking ad/telemetry domains can be done by adding Adguards DNS servers in the OS settings. Sadly blocking apps Internet permissions completely is not possible (except on OS like LineageOS, CalyxOS or GrapheneOS).

    Yep, was afraid of that. Sadly, not a solution for me then.
    
    Thanks nevertheless! 🍻
