Can someone give me a rundown (or link to a good one) of a comparison between subsonic, jellyfin, plex, and these other services that let you host your own streaming service?
SoulSeek - an ancient p2p filesharing system that… For some reason, copyright companies don’t care about, but until they do, there it is and it’s awesome.
Funkwhale - federated dudes all sharing music together, yeah, some of it is copyrighted because of course it is, also an audio server so you get that too.
Jellyfin - Great and modern. Makes a good music server by itself. Only reason it really wins over subsonic and the like is support and upkeep. A lot of subsonic apps are dead.
Plex - Jellyfin (but with corporate overlords)
Find music on SoulSeek, host on Jellyfin, Funkwhale or whatever *sonic fork is still updated, ???, profit is basically the game. Some people also find utility with apps that strip music directly from Tidal and Spotify. Your mileage may vary.
I prefer navidrome https://www.navidrome.org/ over Jellyfin for music as I find it much more responsive and it has extra features like smart playlists. Just adding an extra opinion for those interested.
That’s so sweet of them to remind people to start hosting their own subsonic servers already

I tried hosting funkwhale but never got it to work. Yeah I know, its a skill issue.
Thank you!
I only remember this one: https://github.com/basings/selfhosted-music-overview
But it’s somewhat outdated
I have been doing that for around 10 years already, when I bought my first NAS with Docker capability.
I keep all my music locally. Ultrasonic app on the go.
I hosted mine but then I realised my ISP doesn’t provide static IP so I couldn’t access it outside my home so I quit
Just get yourself a Domain and set up dynDNS or similar, which updates your DNS entry IP address, as soon as it changes.
😌if we just would finally adopt to IPv6…
Tailscale works wonders
You can use something like cloudflare tunnel or a dynamic DNS service (like no-ip)
no-ip requires manually prolongue domain once a month on free plan. Duckdns doesn’t.
Not having a static IP is not a problem at all.
CGNAT would be a much bigger problem, although also one that can be dealt with
Really why.
