For some reason I hear Gilfoyle pontificating about what he does
It makes me wish I was selfhosting more services, music & chat in particular. It wasn't important enough to set up yet
Can recommend Jellyfin, I use it for both music and tv/movies. Not sure on the chat bit, there are so many option it could get a long list
I have Jellyfin, but I haven't tried it with music. How does it compare to Navidrome?
For chat, I was thinking something super simple for the weird situations like this. Alternatively, Briar if you're near the person you want to contact
I'd provide a plug for LMS! If you don't give much of a damn for music video type stuff, it's pretty solid and exposes more metadata through the Subsonic API than Navidrome does. My use case required Composer tags in addition to the usual smorgasbord. Bonus is that it combines SUPER well with Symfonium and is compatible with Audiomuse AI.
All that said, I would switch over to Jellyfin for music if they upped their music metadata game and made genre exploration a bit easier (assuming you have hundreds of distinct genre tags like I do).

Finamp as a music specialized client is really awesome. Just get the beta version as they are reworking it deeply and the stable one is not really updated (also app password make it easier to use OIDC sso plugin on jellyfin)
I moved from subsonic to jellyfin years ago, cuz subsonic didnt do video very well.
Jellyfin looks to do all the stuff Navidrome does, plus video in the same way
