I use Navidrome with play:Sub (paid) or Amperfy (free as in beer) on iOS. I also use the Volusonic plugin with Volumio to play music throughout the house. All my music is curated using MusicBrainz Picard and the files are mounted read-only for Navidrome.
I looked at Roon briefly, and I know many people like it, but I can’t justify the cost. Plex and I don’t get along; pretty sure it’s operator error and/or grumpiness. Jellyfin looks promising, but I ran into challenges with it as well. I think if you’re just hosting music, then Navidrome is fine. If you think you might expand to series or films, something like Plex or Jellyfin could be better long term.
I'd recommend navidrome over jellyfin, even if you have an existing jellyfin instance. It's just that much better. Lidarr does a pretty good job organizing files, even if that's not how you're acquiring your music, but Picard is great. I use a Picard docker right on my server that streams the ui in a browser.
