Looks cool!
I’m curious about the ISRC matching. I’m working on bringing support for retrieval by ISRC in opensubsonic clients (and Navidrome tends to support the opensubsonic spec) but I didn’t think anyone actually added support yet since it was somewhat recently added to the spec.
I thought maybe it was a Navidrome specific feature to retrieve by ISRC, which would be cool!
But looking at what I think is the track matching algorithm for ISRC seems to just always return unmatched https://github.com/betsha1830/navispot/blob/main/lib/matching/isrc-matcher.ts
Am I just reading it wrong?
Your point 3 would be correct with docker and rootful podman, not rootless podman. I have a whole reddit post where this was hashed out, and over the many months and several comments in the post, I’m fairly certain I’m correct in my stated observations
That being said, it’s still best to not use id 0 in your containers and mark permissions the correct way based on your system’s user namespace mapping. It’s just one more variable to figure out, where in most people’s case it won’t matter too much, and still provides better isolation than docker


Looks great! It’s tough for me to choose between this, amperfy, and narjo. I think arpeggi has the cleanest UI, but amperfy and narjo have gapless playback, which I really care about. Plus amperfy is fully open source, which is cool. narjo has a bunch of neat features/customization, though, so I’ve been sticking with it lately


https://perfectmediaserver.com/02-tech-stack/os/ this guide uses proxmox specifically but the base distro can be swapped out and the rest of the teck stack and concepts can apply everywhere. I followed it with a ucore (part of Universal Blue) base and it works great.


funny recommendation in a selfhosted community
Maybe Louis Rossman will see this and beat FUTO back into shape? Maybe? Please? I just want one good outcome here!!


I have some guilty pleasure apps that I refuse to get rid of because they’re just so dang good. Many of them are on Apple devices… forScore is one of those apps
Good luck 🫡 I made the switch about half a year ago and went all in on rootless quadlets while I was at it. It was a pretty nightmarish couple weeks figuring out things like user id mappings and rootless permissions, but I got there eventually. Landed on a super neat Traefik config that should work for anyone and makes spinning up new quadlets with their own reverse proxied subdomains really simple. I should really post it somewhere…
In the end I wouldn’t exactly say it was worth it… but it sure feels cool to be fully moved into a more open/native container implementation.
https://perfectmediaserver.com/ This is the guide that really gave me the confidence to take ownership of my self hosting. My setup now is simple (I use ucore from the universal blue project as a rock solid base) and I use small tools that I can understand (snapraid, mergerfs, borgmatic) to make things robust as well as podman and quadlets (docker also works great) to enable easily hosting basically anything I want through containers.
Everyone gave good alternatives for where to buy music. As for the pipeline for getting them into your music server, I have Picard running in a container (a couple projects do this, search docker picard) and I have the settings all configured so that when I drop in files to my NAS (though samba or whatever), then I just double click the folder in Picard and hit save and it moves it into my music server’s directories, all properly and nicely tagged (I have the container volumes all set up properly as well)
You can look into beets or wrtag for more automation friendly tagging services.


Well I can agree on the fact that the arms race situation we’re in sucks. It’s an old problem, seen in malware attacks and defenses. I’m just glad we have people fighting on our side in their spare time :’)
And it’s all good on the tone, thank you for your clarifications


That solution still introduces lots of friction. At the volume and rate that these bots want to be traversing the internet, they probably don’t want to be fully graphically rendering pages and spawning extra browser processes then doing text recognition to then pass on to the LLM training sets. Maybe I’m wrong there, but I don’t think it’s that simple and actually just shifts solving the math challenge horizontally (i.e., in both cases, the scraper or the network the scraper is running on still has to solve the challenge)


I’m sure you meant to sound more analytical than anything… but this really comes off as arrogant.
You make the claim that Anubis is negligent and come and go, and then admit ton only spending minutes at a time thinking of solutions yourself, which you then just sorta spout. It’s fun to think about solutions to this problem collectively, but can you honestly believe that Anubis is negligent when it’s so clearly working and when the author has been so extremely clear about their own perception of its pitfalls and hasty development (go read their blog, it’s a fun time).
ucore (soon to be cayo) on my home server!
yeah this is the way. as part of my borgmatic script I bring down all the stacks that have databases, let the backup run, then bring those stacks back up. as long as the containers aren’t running (and as long as the container properly closes itself down, not usually something to be worried about though), any method of data back up should be fine.
I do this with quadlets and systemd targets now but before I was doing it with a bunch of docker compose down commands.
It is quite convenient for restoration, as you say


This is awesome. Bookmarking.


Am I totally off-base in thinking that MagicDNS and pluggable DNS nameserver overrides are a huge feature of tailscale?
I love that I can refer to my tailnet devices just via their machine name. I use it everywhere. And also that I can just slot in my NextDNS ID so that any device running tailscale now automatically uses that, and I don’t have to mess with my shared router settings or per device settings. Is all that actually really easy to set up outside of tailscale? Cuz if it is and I just somehow missed that when doing all my research, I’ll happily give plain wireguard or other mesh orchestrators like NetBird a go.
And I already know that mDNS is not the answer. That protocol is simply not reliable enough.


I think you may have shifted the argument a bit.
We’re not “back to where we were 100 years ago”. Bandcamp exists and pays artists for song purchases. It’s not perfect, and the selection of Bandcamp and the few other services like it are sometimes limited, but there ARE ways to buy digital music and have a non-negligible amount of the money go directly to the artist.
I think you’re trying to make an argument for just pirating digital format music. I would say, don’t just throw up your hands and go straight there by default, try to buy the music first, and then if you can’t or really can’t afford it, then by all means download the music in other ways.
There’s almost no chance of getting banned for this. Spotify themselves provides the APIs that let you get metadata about your playlists and tracks, and setting up a developer account with them is petty easy.
It’s moreso a concern of Spotify eventually limiting/ratelimiting that data retrieval in the future… which is why you should back up now while you can!
