Thank you! I'm still figuring out my goals here... Could I ask for your recommendation, given the following?

Primary goal: Access my music library from any of my devices (Android, MacOS, Linux), wherever I am in the world, hopefully without paying anyone (or at least not paying a LOT).

Secondary goal (Not sure if I want to do this yet): Let a group of about 12 friends access my library

Why do I need a domain to access my Funkwhale library but not SyncThing? (lemmy.world)
 

Sorry if I'm mistaken on this, but I'm still new to self-hosting.

Currently I use SyncThing and I love it. My files are accessible to me wherever I am in the world, and it costs me nothing.

I'd like to move more of my life to self-hosted servers. I'm looking at leaving Spotify for Funkwhale. But if I'm reading the materials correctly, I'll need to set up a domain and pay some upfront costs to make my library accessible outside my home.

Why is that? Is there a way to make my costs 0, the way they are with SyncThing?
