Slovenian ISPs don’t give a shit about piracy, so I don’t use a VPN. I did, however, decide against running the setup in Germany on my netcup VPS because they’re really strict about piracy.
I use Traefik as a reverse proxy in my setup and I run everything in docker containers (managed with docker compose). Would you like me to share my configs as well? (I ask just so that I don’t waste my time gathering them and making sure I didn’t share API keys or something :P )
I used to use YouTube music revanced, but at some point it asked me to verify my age to listen to a song my rage against the machine, and that was the last straw. I uninstalled YouTube music, took a dusty raspberry pi 5 from a shelf where it’d been sitting for like half a year and connected it to my router with an Ethernet cable. Then I installed qbittorrent (headless) and mounted its downloads under the music category (it stores the downloads in separate directories, depending on the torrent’s category) into Navidrome. I also have Prowlarr installed for easier searches of indexers. So far I have an 80GB library of music. I try to keep the size down by downloading 320kbps mp3s where possible.
I use the Symfonium app, it was totally worth the 4.50€, I’d be willing to pay more honestly. On desktop I use Feishin.
I also have Listenbrainz set up as a scrobbler on Navidrome. The stats are pretty cool.
I use an external S3 provider so that I only pay for the storage I use for the services I host. It’s dirt cheap, 0.00002750€ per GiB hour (excluding tax). Self-hosting something like MinIO for your app gives you the option of switching to an external provider later on, and it gives you flexibility in the location of the storage.
Garage seems like a viable alternative.

You mean perfect is the enemy of good?
How does this compare to Meshcore and Meshtastic?
