  • As other’s have said Navidrome is the way to go. Not the most featureful, but it’s so much faster than every other solution that you make it work. It’s also very close to a huge update to support plugins and stuff.

    I use the DSub app. Free from fdroid. Configured to download 10 songs in advance, for when I’m driving with spotty service, and download my favorites.

    It also let’s you set different internal and external IP addresses, if you need that. I think most people do unless you run a DNS server.











  • ITT: People who don’t know as much as me.

    All they killed was the branding. The Chromecast with Google TV was such a far cry from an OG Chromecast that it was stupid for them to have the same name.

    OG Chromecast could only cast and did not have a remote. The CCwGT did still support casting, but also had a remote and a real UI.

    The TV streamer is just the CCwGT in a fancy shell with probably a more powerful processor. I’ll bet money that it still supports casting, and can only do pretty much exactly what the CCwGT could do.








  • For sure.

    At some point, your services could easily warrent it. If you learn it early, it makes it much easier to organize your services and share them with others if you decide to.

    Also, if you do decide to use a domain name, you probably won’t be able to use it internally to your network. If you use Adguard, you can use DNS rewrite to only direct your traffic to your server when you’re in your network.

    Also, personally, I use nginx, but I’m more than happy to give you any advice on setup or reverse proxy.
