Personal radio station (feddit.uk)

Apologies if this has been asked before however after some searching I've found several posts / articles here in Lemmy (plus generally around via web searches). Some of the posts are dated however so want to see what the most 'up to date' suggestions are.

I have spare hardware so this is more a software query.

I want to run my own private radio station where I can listen to my music while on the move and at work. Nothing special and it doesnt need bells and whistles however at minimum :

able to listen via web browser (android app would be a bonus but not required)
able to lock it down so only people with the password can listen (me and other half in UK and brother in Australia)
) a generic login so people without the password do not know what it is or what its for
option to set playlists and / or random via genre over specific time periods

Thanks in advance.

I use navidrome. You could set it up with individual accounts and use any Subsonic compatible player. I'm not sure what you mean by specific time periods, so I'm not sure about that.

It has a very serviceable web app, and lots of front end clients. I like Tempus on Android, and Strawberry on PC.

I've found that navidrome is just more stable and usable than other server apps. Yes, you could do it through Home Assistant or Jellyfin or NextCloud, but those apps are not purpose-built for music. Just my 2 cents.
