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'd rather not have my library files available to everyone in the house. My NAS only has secured access via these apps.

As mentioned they keep position, copy files over as you access them, tailscale allows access everywhere.

I transition from mobile phone to PC more than twice a day. Just because you don't want an app to do it doesn't mean others don't have the requirements.

I'm not saying nobody has that requirement, I'm just predicting that most people actually don't if they sit down and think about it for a minute.

Also, what jaroni just said about cover art and position saving is still patently false and has been since, like, 1994.

Yeah thats true but it's a fuck around via the gui without automation which these apps offer. I prefer m4a though.
