Verifiably, at that. On device only. Works without play services. Works without internet (doesn’t even request internet permissions).

Also open source.

For sure.

At some point, your services could easily warrent it. If you learn it early, it makes it much easier to organize your services and share them with others if you decide to.

Also, if you do decide to use a domain name, you probably won’t be able to use it internally to your network. If you use Adguard, you can use DNS rewrite to only direct your traffic to your server when you’re in your network.

Also, personally, I use nginx, but I’m more than happy to give you any advice on setup or reverse proxy.

I know you didn’t want to, but I’ll bet two navidrome instances will be faster and lighter than JF or Plex.

You can disable downloading if your music is copyrighted. Or a layer for copy left of someone tries to take credit.

I don’t think you’re supposed to host music you don’t have the rights to. I think you’re supposed to post your own music

I’ll need to looking into what s3 is, if it’s someone to consider.

Thank you!

How does ente photos compare to immich?

Another day, another chat service.

All my music is properly tagged. Navidrome can combine artists and albums across the folder.

Then it’s just down to Deemix to grab it properly tagged. Most of my music is artist/album/song, but plenty is loose or in just artist folders.

I also do keepassxc, dx on Android, and syncthing to keep them updated. What is it you paid for?

I run everything through Picard, personally.

My main music source is deemix. Flac with perfect tags

Back up the stuff you wouldn’t want to have to do again. I back up my music thrice, and don’t back up my movies or TV unless it’s particularly rare or hard to find. I back up my nginx configs, and my apps folders, with all the docker configs and app files, manually. Every couple of weeks, since having a slightly out of date version isn’t that bad.

Would this require I leave my phone at home? Not a deal breaker, just curious.

Photoprism better for single user. More stable, prettier, more free license.

Immich has support for multiple libraries, and sharing with your other users. Immich has better ai tools. I’m using immich because I just had a baby and want to see the pictures my wife takes of her.

I also vastly prefer having a single, canon source of photos. I syncthing my library to my laptop for full control (and backup). It’s happened before when migrating my server app that I need to reimport all my pictures into a new database. It’s super easy if they’re all in one spot.

When Photoprism adds multi library, I’ll probably switch back. With the main reason being license.
