I'm gradually removing myself from big tech and this month I'm focusing on leaving GitHub, as well as software hosted there. I'm looking for a self-hosted music server that meets these criteria:

  • Simple UI - Easy to navigate
  • Docker support - For hassle-free deployment
  • Runs on Pi3B
  • Compatible clients on mobile and desktop
  • Robust and well maintained - No buggy releases

Current Option:
The only option I've found but not tried is Funkwhale (GitLab).
Site: https://www.funkwhale.audio/
Review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dBcKNoJAso.

GitHub-hosted exclusions:
All the other's I've looked at are hosted on GitHub ( Ampache, LMS Lightweight Music Server, Supysonic, Gonic, Airsonic-Advanced, Koel, Jellyfin, Navidrome). So I won't be using those.

Question:
Does anyone know of other options besides Funkwhale, or have you tried Funkwhale? Thanks!

Aside:
Some reasons I'm leaving GitHub:

  1. Revealed: Microsoft deepened ties with Israeli military to provide tech support during Gaza war
  2. ‘A million calls an hour’: Israel relying on Microsoft cloud for expansive surveillance of Palestinians
  3. ‘Use AI or get out…': GitHub CEO warns developers

I have been on this search myself a few months now and JUST stumbled upon something that fits the bill.

Like, i literally just found it and haven't played with it or investigated too much, but it fits your requirements.

raphson music server is hosted on codeberg now! they left github last year.

it has a great looking interface, integrates with HA, uses subsonic API.

I am greatly interested in learning more about this.!!

    Ah, thank you for this! I see in their latest issues that they might even create a demo server. I appreciate you !

    no sweat. i am on this very hunt myself and understand the apprehension about relying on stuff that is solely hosted on the hub. granted i am no expert, but it just seems to speak to my FOSS soul to try and stick with FOSS through the whole stack if possible.

    in the meantime i am enjoying gonic as the server and mopidy with subidy as the player.

    it's not perfect yet but I'm very close.

    still on the search though!
