I use Navidrome as the backend and DSub to connect to it. When I’m on the go I use a site-to-site wireguard VPN connection back to my server to listen to music and it also caches the songs so even if I don’t have reception I can still listen to my music.

Lidarr to dl and plex/plexamp for listening. No issues so far. Haven’t got to use sonic analysis yet but it’s interesting that you could choose 2 songs and it will use sonic analysis to make a Playlist bridging between the two.

I have airsonic running in a docker container behing Nginx Proxy Manager. I use play:Sub on my iphone and it lets me download albums to my cache.

+1 for gelli on fdroid associated with tailscale. Good enough for my use.

I’ve been using navidrome since the start of the year. It was my first instance of self hosting my music and my main focus was to have a dedicated project for it and to not use something like Plex, Jellyfin, etc. I’ve been liking it so far, it’s simple and just hosts and streams music. Doesn’t have any client side apps or any tagging or smart algorithmic playlists, which is fine by me. Plenty of iOS and Android client side apps with varying features that can download. Worth checking out!

I use Roon ARC to self-host my library. It is paid, but, I bought the lifetime subscription because there is really no other music app that has the features Roon has.

Other than that, I have HiBy R3 Pro that is useless for Bluetooth, and when I’m hiking I want Bluetooth.

What do you mean streaming? I have approximately half of the internet downloaded.

I use Jellyfin and Finamp. When it works it’s great, but it seems to always crap out after half an hour or so of streaming.
