airsonic-refix VS gonic

There are also alternate front ends to airsonic like tamland airsonic refix which work well on mobile/small screens.

All music shows up in Refix, but you can't choose folder. You shouldn't change anything in airsonic-advanced. If you are using Nginx proxy manager, just add a new host for refix. Ex. airsonic.domain.com and refix.domain.com Are you using Portainer to manage docker containers? Watch this. https://github.com/tamland/airsonic-refix

I would recommend checking out airsonic-refix. I switched to it maybe a month ago and it works well. It is definitely limited but it's the best compromise I've found so far.

I've also used airsonic-frontend to stream on my laptop. Are you aware of clients that allow browse by tag mode to be set? Gonic is great and I'd rather use it than airsonic as it's so lightweight.

Gonic seems to be the most active fork of Subsonic that supports browsing via folders, but there's no Windows support. I'm considering running it via Docker on my Windows server but haven't had a chance to look into the pros/cons of that. Curious if anyone here can shed some light on this for me

I've always thought of that one to be more useful when e.g. using gonic, which comes with out a web interface (and seems pretty awesome overall, although I have never tried it myself since I'm quite happy with Navidrome).

Just wanted to give quick plug for my music player app Supersonic! It's a client for Subsonic API-compatible servers, so it handles the UI and playback while the server (Gonic or LMS would be good lightweight choices for localhost-only setup) handles the library management/metadata indexing. It's a quite young project but I have lots of plans for continued improvement and new features (and would gladly accept contributions)!

In the past I've used Airsonic, Gonic, Plex, and Jellyfin. Just for a bit o' variety

i would say it's a bit experimental, but you could try gonic (subsonic jukebox mode) + snapcast
