Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Music Player Daemon - mpd - is a small Linux utillity that does most of this.
It is a small music player runs as a service on a linux machine (RPi worked for me when testing) which can be controlled through a remote control app or desktop program.
It needs access to your music library, so look into sharing it, possibly through NFS, or set up a copy of your music library on local storage in the RPi.
I am a bit concerned about how well it would work with a shared solution, I know that some systems might lock open files preventing other clients from using them, but that is nothing I have tested.
