Hi peoples!

I’m on Apple Music but I want to expand my setup with music hosting but I have no idea how to approach it. Right now I have nothing and know nothing haha. So if you had a guide or would like to share your setup that would be awesome :)

Everything from a player, through downloader, to organiser and whatever else is needed. I heard that lidarr works in Albums, which I usually don’t use. I’m a “I hear a song, I like it, I save it, forget the author or album” kind of person 😅

Or maybe it’s not worth it at all I don’t know haha

Thanks :)

    I use deemon to download my music from Deezer (free account only supports 128kb/s, this is enough for me though).

    For the music server I tried both Jellyfin with the Finamp app and Navidrome with the Tempo app on Android.

    For desktop app for both I use SonixD/Feishin (crossplatform)

    Both where fantastic solutions but I stuck with Navidrome as it was easier to share playlists. (As an URL for non registered users or as public playlist for all registered users)

    My setup is as following: Hypervisor: Proxmox VE NAS: TrueNAS Scale (where all music is stored)

    1 LXC container with Deemon installed that downloads music in mounted NFS share from TrueNAS

    1 VM with Navidrome installed in Docker with the music folder mounted with NFS

    You don’t have to use such a setup, you can perfectly do this on your existing PC with Windows, MacOS or Linux with DE. Or server OS like Linux with CLI, OpenMediaVault, TrueNAS Scale or unRAID
