You give up some control, but you gotta check out https://www.pikapods.com/
On a per-app basis, the price can’t be beat, especially at this level of convenience. I host exactly uptime kuma and beszel on there. The owners are also super responsive to things like adding more env vars.
It really stinks that nowadays whenever I find a cool project that achieves exactly what I’m looking for or a solves a problem I didn’t know I had, I have to temper my excitement and look for markers of heavy AI usage (commits, reading md files, the writing and graphical style). it’s really taking the wind out of the hobby, I think. Hopefully it’s mostly just a phase
Those last two bullets would be huge. I have a personal tailnet and another for my org. Switching between them is just annoying enough that I might even pay for that feature.
Check out https://github.com/WilliamNT/tunesynctool as well. Its development is a little slow right now but it seems very thoughtfully designed and lets you sync via command line (i’ve done so myself) or you can build around it in python.
Looks cool!
I’m curious about the ISRC matching. I’m working on bringing support for retrieval by ISRC in opensubsonic clients (and Navidrome tends to support the opensubsonic spec) but I didn’t think anyone actually added support yet since it was somewhat recently added to the spec.
I thought maybe it was a Navidrome specific feature to retrieve by ISRC, which would be cool!
But looking at what I think is the track matching algorithm for ISRC seems to just always return unmatched https://github.com/betsha1830/navispot/blob/main/lib/matching/isrc-matcher.ts
Am I just reading it wrong?
Looks great! It’s tough for me to choose between this, amperfy, and narjo. I think arpeggi has the cleanest UI, but amperfy and narjo have gapless playback, which I really care about. Plus amperfy is fully open source, which is cool. narjo has a bunch of neat features/customization, though, so I’ve been sticking with it lately
funny recommendation in a selfhosted community
Here’s my “low complexity, medium effort, full legal, full quality” solution:
Start actually buying your music. I go down the list in descending order of convenience:
Tag all your music with Picard (or wrtag if you only buy full releases, there’s a GH issue for other cases) or beets. Picard is the simplest and most feature complete right now and has a nice GUI. Then upload your tagged music to your Navidrome.
Then use a tool like
It’s a nice, fully legal, fully self-hosted stack. Not NEARLY as convenient as having them auto-ripped for you from youtube, but like you said, there are quality and metadata concerns when ripping from youtube.
yunohost is awesome. The only reason I don’t still use it is because I use command line and containers daily already, so I’m genuinely faster that way. I recommend yunohost to friends and I’d go back to it if I already didn’t have a clean, particular way to set up things in my homelab.
