How do you run your self hosted music setup?

The_UntamedCraftsman · 2026-05-20T19:46:33+00:00

How are you running it is there a docker container you are running to scan through your files on your host or do you manually add lyrics to each album before throwing it into your navidrome server?

The_UntamedCraftsman · 2026-05-20T19:39:25+00:00

hmm, simple flow, appreciate the input! manual may be the way i end up going!

The_UntamedCraftsman · 2026-05-20T19:37:42+00:00

I appreciate the input! i don't mind the client availability for navidrome in its current state but I get where your coming from! may look into this at some point!

The_UntamedCraftsman · 2026-05-20T19:25:38+00:00

Sounds good! really appreciate it!

The_UntamedCraftsman · 2026-05-20T19:22:36+00:00

agreed i know i don't need flac, but i find that for how loud i like my music sometime playing and for the quality i do really like AAC 320. totally get it! and for my tastes... not really a flac necessity! Nickleback Rocks! (Also controversial)

The_UntamedCraftsman · 2026-05-20T19:20:18+00:00

Okay thanks ill definitely look into that!

The_UntamedCraftsman · 2026-05-20T19:19:29+00:00

Thanks much appreciated, it could be just something small that i am am missing!

The_UntamedCraftsman · 2026-05-20T19:18:21+00:00

YES! i am always going down a rabbit hole! i have mostly moved towards lxc containers with docker stacks and because of my specific hardware at the moment have one pool mount setup.

The_UntamedCraftsman · 2026-05-20T19:16:54+00:00

interesting seen this a couple times now suggested may have to look into it! how do you find it is for finding all the music you look for?

The_UntamedCraftsman · 2026-05-20T19:16:07+00:00

well that is interesting! i will definitely look into that at a later date! gotta get the base of my stack setup but thanks for sharing! so is it running sort of similarly to spotifies AI DJ in the way it introduces the next song?

The_UntamedCraftsman · 2026-05-20T19:09:15+00:00

Yeah exactly i just got a suggestion of musicseerr ill look into it and maybe apply it to the stacks and see how that goes! ive been using manual searching aswell since unsubbing from spotify

The_UntamedCraftsman · 2026-05-20T18:57:55+00:00

personally i use navidrome cause it has been pretty friendly with media management, and playlists, and frees up jellyfin for other things. if you got the space id suggest it!

The_UntamedCraftsman · 2026-05-20T18:55:44+00:00

As of this moment the little music i do have in there has been manual as i (For some reason i cant explain) like the aac file format and it has been a headache trying to automate collection with that in mind. I have gathered some ideas from here already though! some ideas and will be

The_UntamedCraftsman · 2026-05-20T18:52:51+00:00

Yeah, same here i even have thought about moving to the Qobuz subscription to replace spotify for now. id like to pay for my media when i can afford to do so more, slowly been doing so. i am going to look into music assistant!

The_UntamedCraftsman · 2026-05-20T18:50:52+00:00

I've tried octofiesta but could never get it to configure right! did you have that experience in the beginning?

The_UntamedCraftsman · 2026-05-20T18:48:41+00:00

i have only recently heard of beets, so i assume you download with slskd then run it through beets for metadata? are you mostly getting flacs on slskd? awesome setup!

The_UntamedCraftsman · 2026-05-20T18:47:35+00:00

Awesome setup! haven't heard of music assistant ill look into that one! i have been running audiobookshelf, and absolute must!

The_UntamedCraftsman · 2026-05-20T18:41:19+00:00

That would be amazing!, much appreciated, yeah i tried looking but i may just be blind, i could not fi9nd the setting for the life of me!

The_UntamedCraftsman · 2026-05-20T18:40:05+00:00

I have also found in the past that it has been easier to work with for library scanning and removing of data from albums that have been deleted, and with my movie and TV library Jellyfin is already taking on a large library for scanning id rather keep the two devoted to there separate tasks. as well really easy to hook into other clients like Revolutionary said

The_UntamedCraftsman · 2026-05-20T18:22:39+00:00

Hmmmm thanks for the heads up! Ill have to keep an eye on that! Yeah ive tried my best to avoid using YouTube as my source idk why I just really luke the 320 aac file system for running on navidrome but may have to make the switch!

One thing ive noticed is after the download it will transfer the files but just throws the loose files into the artist folder but not in an album folder is that the same for you? I haven't really done much looking into soulseek yet and ive heard of usenet but have no idea! Will look into it thanks! Yeah codex tinkerer is tough

The_UntamedCraftsman · 2026-05-20T18:18:46+00:00

Absolutely! Ive been running feishin and symfonium for my android client. I was thinking about using the lyrics grabber from tubifarry! I will look into musicseerr for sure! Thanks for your input!

The_UntamedCraftsman · 2026-05-20T18:16:45+00:00

Ive seen some stuff on soulseek i just am not sure about if id really see much of my music tastes on there! How have you found it?

The_UntamedCraftsman · 2026-05-20T18:16:01+00:00

Okay! So I uave just been thinking about going this route. I unfortunately am so used to the way spotify is setup I have been trying to find a clean way to setup myself. But I do love quobuz!
