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.

What’s wrong with just throwing MP3s on an SD card, or hard drive?
Edit: Love how I have 4 upvotes, 4 downvotes. So a pretty divicive statement I’ve made. Yet nobody has told me why mp3s on local storage is or is not a solution for self hosting music. No opinions shared, other than angry arrows in both directions.
Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool.
MP3’s are so old the patents have expired. OPUS is where it’s at it ones going for lossy music compression nowadays.
Harddrives are a bit unpractical when listening on phones.
And please don’t throw music onto storage devices, it’s better to transfer them.
Better?
