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).

Hosting Navidrome and use Symphonium to stream on-the-go. Have Navidrome on a domain via reverse proxy.
Considering limiting any risk in the future and just using something like tailscale/wireguard to just connect to the sever on-the-go, but we'll see.
+1 for gelli on fdroid associated with tailscale. Good enough for my use.
I use PlexAmp with Plex and Deezloader (now deemix!) that directly downloads into the Plex Folders so it instantly gets tagged and picked up ready for listening.
I had a multi-hour session with musicBrainz Picard to fix the tags, but now I dont have to manually fix anything. I even got Pokemon OSTs running sorted by Editions
I dont know how imgur albums work on lemmy
I rsync my entire library with an sdcard every week. The initial sync is slow, but the subsequent syncs are fast since only new files get copied over.
I currently use Jellyfin with the Gelli App from F-Droid. It does support downloading complete Albums to the cache but you can't navigate your music library while offline so this doesn't seem to be very useful (only to save data if you have a metered connection)
I used to use gonic with Ultrasonic as a client app but as I have Jellyfin for video files anyways I don't host this anymore. This setup did support offline playback though and is pretty lightweight so it might be worth a look for you.
I hadn't found any good options, so mainly use Spotify + Plex when I can't find what I need on Spotify. Will check out some of the options mentioned in here though.
