Hey guys, so I have been searching for the different ways to self-host a music-server and don’t really know whats the best/most elegant way to go.

I know that there is navidrome and many also use jellyfin for it. Now I have a few questions:

  • Are there any good apps for android for navidrome/jellyfin respectively?
  • how easy can I add songs to them/do they pull metadata from somewhere (like jellyfin does for movies)
  • how do they (or any other options) compare in terms of ease of setup/maintainability?
  • do you have any overall recommendations?

Thanks a lot for any tips/recommendations and your help :D

    Navidrome is one piece of a large ecosystem https://opensubsonic.netlify.app/docs/

    The thing Navidrome does is that it includes almost everything in one convenient install.

    Use any server backend you like (I use Gonic because it is extremely simple) and then connect to it using any client that supports subsonic or opensubsonic
