hello,

im really tired of google music and spotify, and want to self host my downloaded music and create my library.

however, i know nothing about self hosting. My knowledge is absolutely zero. And Im completely lost about how to self host my own music. Dont find any good tutorial for dummies and i have a lot of question. I dont understand nothing. I see the tutorials of Navidrome and Ampache and still understand nothing. All of that looks extremely complicated to me.

How can i self host my music? I need to pay something? A very old and slow pc is enough?

Im completely lost. If someone can suggest something - like a tutorial , dunno - to build/self host my own music I appreciate a lot.

ty

      When I first used Jellyfin, the official Docker image didn’t have AMD video acceleration working out of the box and the LinuxServer one did.

      LinuxServer images often solve problems and work out of the box better than the official option.

      I think I’m right in saying they have a standardised and reliable option for running as a none-root user too.

      For normal docker self hosters the biggest is similar structures across their images.

      It config is always /config

      Also they run the same user so it helps with file permission issues
