    I had been using airsonic as a music server for a long time, but have recently switched to navidrome. They both use a variety of subsonic compatible clients. I tried Funkwhale, but found it really difficult to configure. Navidrome is working really well, and is a lot lighter than airsonic.

      Yeah, Funkwhale is rather built for public display of your music library. The backend is also written in Python, so presumably eats resources like no one’s business and, somewhat of a programmer prejudice, is probably also just not very stable / resilient to misconfiguration.

      That’s why I didn’t really even mention it for self-hosting. I find it primarily useful, if you’re hooking into an existing instance like https://open.audio.
