Replacing Music Streaming Services with a Self-hosted Stack
blog.nfreak.tv
Replacing TV and movie streaming services is pretty trivial, and typically one of the first projects for any new self-hoster, but music streaming services are a whole different beast. There's a growing need to replace the likes of Spotify, but there's no one-size-fits-all solution, and maintaining an on-disk music library

Full disclosure, I’m pretty new to selfhosting myself, and I haven’t written a guide like this before, but hopefully this scatterbrained writeup is enough for someone out there lmao

This is just what works for me and how I set it up. Always open to ideas for improvement as well.

    Lidarr (well it’s broken currently, but it used to work well) and Headphones automate it all just like Sonarr and Radarr.

    I have spotify premium too btw. I love it, and I feel it’s absolutely amazing for discovering new bands and songs that I like but would never hear otherwise - and when I find those bands, I want to get all their stuff and have it for a rainy day - which is where Plex comes in.
