Why I Ditched Spotify, and How I Set Up My Own Music Stack | LeshiCodes

  This is great, and it doesn’t have to be as complicated to get started. Here’s my setup -

  • navidrome running in docker on my server (a NUC in the basement, with a copy of the library)
  • tailscale to access the server from outside my home network (I run headscale, a self-hosted coordination server on a VPS, but the free company hosted default would be fine)
  • Ultrasonic on my phone (I like the ability to “pin” songs or albums to keep offline)
  • local copy of the library on my desktop which I listen to with Quod Libet

  I cancelled my Spotify membership back in April and have been buying on average an album a month, either Bandcamp or directly from artists if possible. Bandcamp is also decent for discovering new artists, and I’ve also gone old-school and sought out music critic websites that cover the genres I like.
