hello,

im really tired of google music and spotify, and want to self host my downloaded music and create my library.

however, i know nothing about self hosting. My knowledge is absolutely zero. And Im completely lost about how to self host my own music. Dont find any good tutorial for dummies and i have a lot of question. I dont understand nothing. I see the tutorials of Navidrome and Ampache and still understand nothing. All of that looks extremely complicated to me.

How can i self host my music? I need to pay something? A very old and slow pc is enough?

Im completely lost. If someone can suggest something - like a tutorial , dunno - to build/self host my own music I appreciate a lot.

    Or just run Jellyfin on your desktop and sync the phone app from time to time. Finamp even allows downloads, so no connection to the server needed at all times.

      That is a different usecase though. That is simply syncing local musical with a server.

      I do that too because i have an SD card. Just use Syncthing for that. Much faster and less hassle. You can use any music player on your phone that you want, not just one that works with jellyfin.

      If you aren’t streaming music in real time for the majority of time, then do a phone sync, not a streaming server.
