Navidrome is still the best music server, even with all of its limitations. For what it’s worth, the developer is currently working on features intended to support multiple music libraries. It’s going to happen eventually.

Does nextcloud deck have recurring tasks yet? I didn’t think it did.
+1 for long-ass backup script. First dump the databases with the appropriate command. Currently, I have only MariaDB and Postgres instances. Then, I use Borg to backup the database dumps and the docker volumes.
Database SQL dumps compress very well. I haven’t had any problems yet
I wanted to follow up here because I became aware of a pretty good solution for this. It’s called pine pods and it’s an open source self-hosted service that also syncs with GPodder (or Nextcloud’s version of it) so it will keep AntennaPod and itself synched.
I currently use AntennaPod with NextCloud’s version of GPodderSync; which is…adequate.
My ultimate solution would be one where a self-hosted app that tracks and download my podcasts, and then proxy them with some sync mechanism to an android app, but keep them as separate shows with artwork and stuff rather than consolidate them into one feed. I could then choose to listen on the self-hosted web interface or the Android app, and they would be kept in sync.
I use it! It is miles better than other Jellyfin apps for music, but there are still things I wish it still had.
I maintain a Jellyfin instance for audio that points at the same music library as my Navidrome instance does just so I can use the Jellyfin client for Android TV. I would absolutely LOVE to have a subsonic-compatible Android-TV-focused app, so I could finally single-source my music. It’s just not friendly to guests to have them have to log in somewhere using their own device to my music server and then have to cast to my main entertainment system at home, when Android TV is just sitting there, acting as nothing more than an old-school Chromecast.
So, don’t get me wrong, Jellyfin is THE BEST video server software FOSS or not, IMO :)
I currently use Jellyfin and Navidrome. JF just seems really awkward for music. It’s like it tries to treat music and video like the same kind of entities, and they just aren’t.
I really really want a better FOSS -compatible music app.
I feel this comment so much. Like you, I’m a Symfonium user, after reluctantly admitting that DSub has stagnated. I really wish someone would just assume that mantle.
Tempo is probably the best of the current FOSS subsonic-compatible apps, and it ticks most of the boxes, but it still has a way to go to become my daily music app. I posted a review/wishlist in its GitHub discussions for what it could implement to be great in my view, but development seems really slow for it. It might be just one guy, I’m not sure.
Here’s hoping things get better!
I’m pretty sure they really mean SomethingAwful, RatherGood, AlbinoBlackSheep, etc. Most of what is being mentioned is before YouTube.
Also, Shiggity shiggity shwa.
I might be ok with this if they also had “ebb” pricing. If I could walk in at 8pm and get a burger for a buck, it might be worth it never to go at lunchtime again.
This, of course, will never happen.
If using open source projects and sharing my experience by helping others on forums and logging detailed bugs when I find them counts as contribution, then everyday.
I’m a software dev myself, but I have enough on my plate with my day job and two kids that have to be taken to all manner of activities. I don’t know how all these people find the time to work on free software, probably for little to no compensation, but my hat is off to all of you, wherever you are.
GoToSocial is pretty good, but it has some fundamental limitations like being unable to follow hashtags and not having a web client of its own. I currently have a self-hosted instances of both Mastodon and GoToSocial (for testing purposes), but I mostly use the Mastodon one.
I can’t see it in the Canadian Google Play Store :(
Doesn’t it bug you that the LMDE logo in neofetch has the top line messed up? I have all my local systems patches and there is a PR up on their repo for it.
The first thing I do when researching a new electronic thing is to search “[brand] home assistant” to see if there is already an integration for their stuff. If not, I usually keep looking.
I see what you did there.
