What's the easiest way to host a music colletion (FLAC)?

I’ve tried a few options over the years, including SMB and NFS, XBMC as well as HTML with javascript I found online.

I don’t have a large collection of music (fewer than 100 albums), so hand coding things was actually one of the quicker options to setup. That’s despite then hassle of hand coding the URL to each FLAC file as well as the album art. But sometimes the javascript doesn’t handle large collections of FLAC and each implementation I tried had different quirks so I’ve sunk a lot of time into that in other ways without a satisfactory result.

I’ve heard of Emby, Jellyfin, Plex, Roon and Servio. I just need something that’s simple to set up and access. I don’t need fancy features beyond the ability to play the music with a pleasant UI that can be accessed from the web (HTTP, not HTTPS). I’d be running this from a Raspberry Pi 3B which already has the lighttpd server running.

I’m also considering just getting a portable, 128GB FLAC player with a minijack connection and moving on with my life without getting involved in networking at all.

Any recommendations for an uncomplicated way to approach to doing this?

Edit: Thanks so much for the helpful and enthusiastic comments! I tried Navidrome and had it up and running in ten minutes thanks to this tutorial video: invidious.nerdvpn.de/watch?v=7V5UUJlSknY

I had to install docker-compose on the RPi. Then I got an error which turned out to be because I also needed a separate docker daemon which I installed following these instructions: www.simplilearn.com/…/raspberry-pi-docker

In just 10+ minutes I had my music collection accessible from all my devices - thanks again!

I’ve been very happy with Navidrome. I have it accessible on a subdomain, so I can just use it from wherever I want. Feishin is a great frontend for Linux desktop, and Tempo is a great frontend for Android.

My friend used Jellyfin instead of Navidrome, and he’s also happy with it. Both the frontends that I mentioned work with Jellyfin as well.

Second Navidrome. I use it with the android app Symfonium and have thoroughly enjoyed it.

I’m using a Jellyfin server with Symonium on android. It’s almost as good as plexamp, but sadly not available on other platforms. Symfonium will work with any media player that uses subsonic. My current jellyfin implementation is http with a VPN for external use.

ReadyMedia (formerly MiniDLNA) works fine for me as a container via podman on a raspberry pi.


<span style="color:#323232;">podman run -d --name=minidlna 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">--net host 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">-v dir/to/music:/media/audio 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">-e MINIDLNA_MEDIA_DIR_1=A,/media/audio 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">-e MINIDLNA_FRIENDLY_NAME=Music 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">--restart on-failure:3 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">--platform linux/arm64 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">docker.io/vladgh/minidlna:latest
</span>

No http interface though for playback. Still very simple and does the job for me.
