I was going to try to host my music on Jellyfin, but I had an issue.
Since 2005 I’ve been curating my music collection with my old iPod that I still use.
I like my albums in release order so, with the iPod in mind, probably 80% of them are named [year] - [album]
Lidarr and Jellyfin won’t find them because of this and I don’t want to manually sort through 2000-some albums.
So I still use my iPod (20 years old next year!)
I still use an iPod too. Hard to beat even 20 years later.
Honestly just in ~/Music and stuff I'd like to listen to on the go gets copied onto my phone.
Gathered all music/Audiobook Files on my Synology NAS, organized in folders. Beside, there is still a Lyrion Music Server (LMS) running on the NAS in a docker. Put the Squeezer Play Client on every possible device (Windows, Linux PC, Android, Tigerbox, Pi zeros) and streaming works well for me at Home.
Access either via Web or App on Android/iOS. I have enabled navigating in LMS via folders because ID3 Tags are poorly maintained in my files. :/
I picked up a Denon DNP-730AE network audio player on ebay and I run Tiny-DLNA on my server where the music files and playlists are stored.
Works great and sounds great.
I use navidrome for the streaming and lidarr for downloads. I am not totally thrilled with navidrome as I can not play genres. I want to setup an icecast streaming server with individual "channels" for each genre
local storage server as a backup and to download my music to my devices (ik jellyfin is better then this but i already had the storage set up)
My problem is that I cannot find a selfhosting solution that has the nuts to spool up 80k+ hi-res, original sourced, flac files that reside on two 10TB drives through my ancient technology. MusicBee is the closest thing I've come across, but that is local, and it struggles. I stay around the compound now days so local is ok, but it would be nice to stream out on the back porch without cranking my stereo to 11 so I can hear. I have bluetooth options but range is an issue.
I use Jellyfin with Finamp on Android/PC and the Jellyfin plugin for Kodi on my HTPC.
The Jellyfin plugin does movies/shows too and not just music but it handles music playback as well. For a dedicated music box I'm not sure if I would use Kodi for it.
Have always preferred Emby. Have been running it for around 8 years.
Navidrome for me. Installed via Yunohost.
VM having a EXT4 disk on a ZFS storage.
Files are (usually) FLAC
Files are ripped from CD with Exact Audio Copy (EAC)
Alternatively they are bought or 'lent' out ;)
Files are managed by Lidarr.
Jellyfin for atreaming.
On mobile ai use Symfonium.
Basically my setup but without ZFS (kept randomly crashing entirely, probably not a great nvme) or ripped CDs, haven't had a disk drive in over a decade lol
The ZFS is in my case just TrueNAS. Can't trust myself setting that up :D
I tried to set mine up through Proxmox, after 3-10 days the whole ZFS pool would crash and I'd have to reboot the machine to get it functional again. I'm sure I either did something wrong with config or the 4 year old consumer nvme I had it set up on just couldn't handle it lol
Maybe the disk was running out of spare storage cells and ate into the actual data partition and corrupting the data table (if that's even possible)
emby and shares. emby unlike jellyfish can mount remote smb shares right in the webinterface. proxmox/lxc and jellyfin is a pain in the ass you do not want.
that was a big choke point for me for a while also!
i keep this in my linkwarden!
thanks. but am i blind or are they just giving up on getting in run in docker in lxc on proxmox?
"No clue about how to do it through docker in an LXC."
it was a big choke point? that thread alone says dont use jellyfin.
Navidrome + MusicAssistant
I also enjoy Navidrome. What does Musicassistant add for you? Seems like it can do a whole lot
Nice frontend plus Spotify integration for the library and then selecting different output sources from said frontend.
MPD (Music Player Daemon) would be perfect for that old Autonomic - super lightweight, runs on practically anythng, and Symfonium is an amazing Android client that supports it natively.
I've seen this a couple times but haven't looked into it until now! do you play with this?
mpd has broke me a couple times lol
yooooo mopidy is an awesome server to feed MPD and you were correct about MPD being able to run on this device!
