Been seeing a lot of posts about replacing Spotify and such, so I wrote up a guide on how I did just that (badabingus.ghost.io)

Full disclosure, I'm pretty new to selfhosting myself, and I haven't written a guide like this before, but hopefully this scatterbrained writeup is enough for someone out there lmao

This is just what works for me and how I set it up. Always open to ideas for improvement as well.

My hangup with self-hosting is due to the fact that I have a family for whom managing their entire library would be a full-time job. It's unfortunately worth the $15/month for me to not have to constantly take requests for new music, add that to the server, troubleshoot when things don't work, etc.

This is how I feel with just my spouse. Spotify absorbs so much ADD energy and immediate new music whiplash that I can't help but be OK with it.

The alternative is to be up at 4:00am on Oct 13 ripping T-Swizzle MP3s from YT.

I had my partner put in the addresses of my *arr stack into their phone and showed them how to add things they wanted. They never close any tabs so all I need to say is what weird-ass unrelated name handles whatever media they want and I'm done.

You don't have to host your whole family's library though. You can start with whatever you want and be on the road to improving your setup.
