I’m gradually removing myself from big tech and this month I’m focusing on leaving GitHub, as well as software hosted there. I’m looking for a self-hosted music server that meets these criteria:

  • Simple UI - Easy to navigate
  • Docker support - For hassle-free deployment
  • Runs on Pi3B
  • Compatible clients on mobile and desktop
  • Robust and well maintained - No buggy releases

Current Option:
The only option I’ve found but not tried is Funkwhale (GitLab).
Site: https://www.funkwhale.audio/
Review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dBcKNoJAso.

GitHub-hosted exclusions:
All the other’s I’ve looked at are hosted on GitHub ( Ampache, LMS Lightweight Music Server, Supysonic, Gonic, Airsonic-Advanced, Koel, Jellyfin, Navidrome). So I won’t be using those.

Question:
Does anyone know of other options besides Funkwhale, or have you tried Funkwhale? Thanks!

Aside:
Some reasons I’m leaving GitHub:

  1. Revealed: Microsoft deepened ties with Israeli military to provide tech support during Gaza war
  2. ‘A million calls an hour’: Israel relying on Microsoft cloud for expansive surveillance of Palestinians
  3. ‘Use AI or get out…': GitHub CEO warns developers

    I don’t have any app suggestions for you but have been reading through the comments and just wanted to say that I’m 100% with you.

    I have a similar conversation with other musicians I know and it’s the reason that I (and many others) won’t release anything on Spotify: Just being there adds value to them and what they do is destructive and dirty.

    I hope you find something and keep standing up for what’s right!

      Ah, I appreciate the comment so much! I also don’t use Spotify for the same reason as you. These exploitation economies are a race to the bottom. Thank you, and I wish you success platforming your music ethically.
