hello,

im really tired of google music and spotify, and want to self host my downloaded music and create my library.

however, i know nothing about self hosting. My knowledge is absolutely zero. And Im completely lost about how to self host my own music. Dont find any good tutorial for dummies and i have a lot of question. I dont understand nothing. I see the tutorials of Navidrome and Ampache and still understand nothing. All of that looks extremely complicated to me.

How can i self host my music? I need to pay something? A very old and slow pc is enough?

Im completely lost. If someone can suggest something - like a tutorial , dunno - to build/self host my own music I appreciate a lot.

There are many different ways, but personally (and hopefully I don't get crucified for saying this) I use Plex and Plexamp. Plexamp has got to be the best music app I've ever used. I even tied it into Last.fm to get recommendations for new music based on my listening.

You'd need to set up Plex media server to go this route: https://support.plex.tv/articles/200264746-quick-start-step-by-step-guides/

Personally I host via Docker.

It might be a little overkill if you don't have other media, though, and it's not fully open source.

I use Plex and jellyfin, honestly, plex only stays around because of plexamp. It's just too good. I don't like using streaming apps like Spotify or whatever because they're not as good

@greedytacothief @AmbiguousProps How does Finamp compare?
