Hey guys, so I have been searching for the different ways to self-host a music-server and don't really know whats the best/most elegant way to go.

I know that there is navidrome and many also use jellyfin for it. Now I have a few questions:

  • Are there any good apps for android for navidrome/jellyfin respectively?
  • how easy can I add songs to them/do they pull metadata from somewhere (like jellyfin does for movies)
  • how do they (or any other options) compare in terms of ease of setup/maintainability?
  • do you have any overall recommendations?

Thanks a lot for any tips/recommendations and your help :D

Good to know! Thanks for sharing. Tempus seems quite nice. Though Android Auto didnt work for me last I checked even with the update.

I think since Android Auto compatibility requires proprietary Google binaries embedded in the apk, the degoogled version distributed on f-droid (as per f-droid's terms) isn't compatible. There's a "full version" distributed in the github releases if you're okay with those being included.

You can keep apps from github updated using Obtainium if you like.

Thats where I got mine, GitHub, ubdating with Obtainium!

You might still want to double check its the right version as the degoogled version is also distributed in the github releases alongside the "full" version.

If the package name is `com.eddyizm.degoogled.tempus" it's the wrong one and won't be compatible with android auto
