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

    This is my approach too. I use Moode Audio on a Pi at home, linked to my mini server. Same server syncs (with Syncthing) all of my music to my phone’s SD card. I have Jellyfin on the server too and my music library is available there, but I just use that for video.
