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?
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
Good write up. Spotify is the lsdt for me to replace
For me it’s YouTube.
I need this i’ve been struggling to replace spotify.
Thank you for writing and making content.
In this era, I feel like I’m in the Good Place: it’s impossible to make “good” ethical choices while engaging with modern world. Every day, some platform or artist is found supporting blood money, genocide, unfair labor, treats other artist/collaborators like shit, exploitation… Then we all have to pivot to some obscure alternative with its own issues, lest we be immoral internet users.
I’m so tired of all this shit… /rant
You have to draw your own lines. For me I dont focus on all the bad choices, I pick something im interested in and then look at the options and try pick the choice I like the most. One thing at a time and before you know it you’ve made major choices in several areas of daily life.
The only way to be a truly moral person on this planet is to not participate in society and go completely 100% off grid. Even then the Good Place did a great episode on that, and they’re right, you’re not really living then either. It’s all just about what you’re willing to put up with
Y e p. It’s a nightmare tbh
That saying too often gets used as an excuse to not even try moving away from patronizing a harmful business, as though it isn’t worth any inconvenience since we’re screwed no matter what.
Was just thinking about doing this over the weekend cuz youtube music’s offline functionality seems to have gone down drastically.
Should put a note on your blog that Lidarr’s Metadata database is being rebuilt, currently the Lidarr APi spits a bunch of 5xx errors when searching for artists/albums/etc.
github.com/Lidarr/Lidarr/issues/5498
Help the Lidarr team rebuild the Database by running this application:
github.com/DeviantEng/lidarr-cache-warmer
It’ll search every artist in your library so that the new database has a cache to quickly call upon.
Yeah and it’s been proper fucked for months. I set up anew server on my Mac mini M4 months ago and every now and then I spin up lidarr again to see if it is fixed and nope, won’t recognise a single album in my entire collection and can’t even manually add an artist.
Headphones is pretty terrible and slow, but it has the benefit of working.
You can petty easily point Lidarr to an alternate cache server. Either use the docker images they provide or of you already have Lidarr with plugins setup, you can do it that way
I think I made a note about that, but you’re right I should make it more apparent. I did use the blampe/hearring-aid build here which solves the issue for the short term, but I’ll add a clearer note to futureproof it for when the main builds are fixed.
this is incredible! petty much exactly what i did for myself, minus the *arr part (yet)
also i am dabbling with tempo, and it’s been forked with active development!
Soon 🏴☠️
Your blog is really pretty!
Appreciate it! I literally just slapped it together just for this post LOL but I’ll probably start using it some more, kinda therapeutic in a way. The assets are all recycled from my streaming days, may as well still get some use out of em

Do we really need a federated streaming platform??
Musicbrainz is also not federated, neither is wikipedia.

All the above points are bakid excepts for this
You can easily download for offline listening with spotify. Even piracy will require internet download for later offline consumption, and getting music from physical media is way more work than most realistically want to do today.

Complain about paying artists yet the article is about how they automate piracy lol

Whats the pirate discover ability fix? I miss last.fm from back in the day… Always finding great small artists.
