Hello based people of lemmy,

I have recently started trying out BSDs as an alternative to Linux and found out that Spotify isn't supported. Before you say try it in a browser this doesn't work as spotify has DRM that doesn't work on BSD OSes.

Now is there a way to stream music similar to Spotify? I know there is a downloader program available.

Furthermore do you know what self-hosted options are available? I already have a basic *arr stack and am always up for convoluted server and Linux hijinks.

I use Jellyfin to stream my music library (which is over 20 GiB) everywhere.

Also, there is this unofficial way to install Jellyfin on BSD.

Edit – I am willing to give you temporary access to my public server, if you want to try it out.

I tried that method. It's seriously borked if you ever want transcoding to work. Jellyfin has a customized version of ffmpeg they used that just dosen't exist on FreeBSD to the best of my knowledge. You can maybe make it work with the FreeBSD version but it would be an ugly hack.

If music available on YouTube is enough, you can use, or host your own Beatbump server. beatbump.io is a what I use occasionally.
