  • gonic as the streaming server, Lidarr for library management and some of the downloads, Sonixd/Tempo as desktop/mobile clients.

    Works alright for albums (downloads are a pain), probably won’t really work in your case though.

    Everything is running on a single-node k8s cluster (because infrastructure-as-code is awesome), but it’s probably overkill for most people. https://github.com/sibwaf/Infrastructure for reference if you’re interested (/selfhosted/charts - lidarr, gonic)

    Shameless self-plug: I’m working on a Subsonic-compatible server which wraps yt-dlp (i.e. allows downloading from YouTube/Bandcamp and then streams it). Seems like it should work for your case of handling single tracks. It’s still very much in progress (very-very slow progress) and really isn’t ready for use, but if anyone is interested in following the project: https://github.com/sibwaf/Tapesonic



  • To be honest, I’m also not that knowledgeable about it even though I do have it running on a VPS. And can’t say I’m too knowledgeable about networking/VPNs either - I do use Wireguard which I also manage, but that’s about it.

    So, some bulletpoints instead:

    • It’s kinda a pain to set up
    • It’s default server configuration logs all requests, so you might want to disable this
    • As far as I understand, it’s more of a proxy than a VPN, so you won’t be able to make connections from one client to another
    • It mimics standard HTTPS
    • When using the “reality” protocol it successfuly mimics any website of your choosing for any unauthenticated clients by forwarding HTTPS certificates and whatnot, which protects you from active probing
    • People use it to get around the Great Firewall of China
