I’m gradually removing myself from big tech and this month I’m focusing on leaving GitHub, as well as software hosted there. I’m looking for a self-hosted music server that meets these criteria:

  • Simple UI - Easy to navigate
  • Docker support - For hassle-free deployment
  • Runs on Pi3B
  • Compatible clients on mobile and desktop
  • Robust and well maintained - No buggy releases

Current Option:
The only option I’ve found but not tried is Funkwhale (GitLab).
Site: https://www.funkwhale.audio/
Review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dBcKNoJAso.

GitHub-hosted exclusions:
All the other’s I’ve looked at are hosted on GitHub ( Ampache, LMS Lightweight Music Server, Supysonic, Gonic, Airsonic-Advanced, Koel, Jellyfin, Navidrome). So I won’t be using those.

Question:
Does anyone know of other options besides Funkwhale, or have you tried Funkwhale? Thanks!

Aside:
Some reasons I’m leaving GitHub:

  1. Revealed: Microsoft deepened ties with Israeli military to provide tech support during Gaza war
  2. ‘A million calls an hour’: Israel relying on Microsoft cloud for expansive surveillance of Palestinians
  3. ‘Use AI or get out…': GitHub CEO warns developers

    Correct. I don’t host my music on GitHub. I’m looking to dispense of software that’s involved with it. I’ll try to clarify my post, thank you.!

      This is honestly dumb. If you hate github then actively downloading from it and eating their bandwidth is helping your mission of killing them.

      Where a project is hosted is irrelevant because if the platform shits itself one can simply just do git add remote someserver and push the whole project over to some new code hosting site.

      You refusing to download from github is quite simply stupid.

        It sounds like your definition of when a platform “shits itself” is when it stops meeting your own needs and preferences. I would say that a better definition is when a platform engages in extreme and violent behaviour.

            I don’t share your pessimism that there is no ethical tech out there, so I’ll be keeping my internet connection thank you.

              If you consider using software that has version control on GitHub immoral, then using TCP/IP is immoral.
