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.

Because I stuck a 1TB sd card in my phone and don't have to deal with transcoding or dealing with, well, anything, but copying new files over and listening to things.

I've developed quite the liking for stupidly simple solutions, and 'copy the files to a sd card' is about as simple as it gets.

OPUS is such a delightful format I transcoded my FLACs just for fun.

OPUS is such a delightful format

Agreed. My audiobook library was transcoded from various formats to 32kbit OPUS and they still sound about the same.

Shocking how decent it is with spoken voice and stupid low bitrates.
