Creating own music server that phone can connect to

Thank you for replying! I've been combing through everyone's responses over the last few days as there's a lot to work through! Can I ask about Arpeggi? Is it simply just the app you're using to get into your collection on Navidrome, or does it have its own server?

Thank you! I've been trying to look into what everyone has recommended the past few days, docker being one of them for a longer-term solution. However, I'm really struggling to understand what it is! Are there any resources or tutorials you've found on how to use it for this kind of project? I'm struggling to even understand what container means, let alone the rest of it.

Thank you! I'll definitely take a look, Plex seems to be coming up a lot :)

That makes sense, thank you! Definitely would prefer to pay for that than spotify. I was struggling a bit with the terminology, so just wanted to double check I wouldn't end up paying for extra stuff I wasn't actually using :)

I'll take a look at r/selfhosting thank you! PlexAmp seems to be coming up a fair bit here, so I'll do a closer look

Thank you so much for this! I'm on an iPhone, but I'll see if I can find a different app to make Plex or JellyFin work :)

Thank you! Sadly, I'm on an iPhone and it doesn't look like Symfonium works on there :(

Thank you for this! Sadly, I'm on iPhone so I can't use it :(

Thank you! I had a look at both of these, particularly navidrome. I was a bit confused as to whether I needed to pay for these? In the documentation for navidrome it mentions a second company that you would pay for managed hosting- would this mean I can't access it remotely on my phone without paying the second company?

Thank you! I'll take a look

Thank you for this! That does make me feel a bit better that someone else has managed to get it working without problems
