Comment on Why I Ditched Spotify, and How I Set Up My Own Music Stack | LeshiCodes

  I’ve had it going for months now. Navidrome is very reliable and with docker, super easy to update should you so please.

  The rolling cost is my internet, which I’d have whether I’d have Navidrome or not.

    Another bump for navidrome, I’ve been using it for 4 years and it’s the best.

  I see what you’re saying but nowhere else in that table is cost mentioned. Below the table they say maintanance is minimal. If you’re already looking after storage, containers and server(s) I guess that could be true.

    Are we looking at the same table? It says it’s about cost in the left column. Or am I misunderstanding your post? Image

      Sorry re-reading my comments it’s not super clear what I meant: nowhere else in the table do they take account for the ‘hidden’ on-going maintenance of looking after a server/self-hosting. So this is the only row where they address ‘cost’ and I just thought it’s a bit optimistic to say replacing all of Spotify just costs a one time server setup and storage. I think you’re saying this row was only meant to indicate financial cost and I agree it’s basically accurate from that meaning. However this is only the ‘initial’ cost. For example a self-hosted server and storage will eventually have to be replaced whereas Spotify will just keep replacing their own servers and that’s already baked into the price of your subscription (caveat: that Spotify price will rise over time).

      It’s not a big point really, maybe I’m nitpicking.

        Oh I see, that’s right! It’s not something we selfhosters usually admit when comparing costs I’d say :-)
