Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I know there's many questions about self hosted Spotify alternatives, but this one has a slight twist.

Does there exist a service or service stack that provides a single sign on web interface where friends/family can login to search for and download music, stream, and create playlists/share playlists (or even their entire library) with other users?

I've always used Spotify to an extent as a social network. Almost all playlists are shared with close friends, and we share essentially a unified library. I'd like to replicate this outside of Spotify.

Essentially what Immich does but for music, podcasts, and audio books.

Some type of iPhone & android compatible app would be necessary as well.

The ability to easily upload purchased music from bandcamp as well as download pirated music from something like soulseek would be needed too.

This looks promising. I'm going to investigate further. Thanks!

I use navidrome for hosting my music but for your ask I was also thinking funkwhale is exactly the thing you were asking for.
