mStream VS frp

Right now I’m just loading music to the free VLC app on my iPhone. Though I’ve long thought about setting up my own private cloud streaming server via the open source https://mstream.io but haven’t got around to it yet.

I am running mStream. See https://mstream.io/

Generally, I hate the experience of streaming from a service. Occasionally to discover, but youtube's good enough for that.

For me, the greatest unsung innovation was the car USB player. That took it from the 10 CD's or so to basically whatever I want, however I want.

As for streaming my music, I was an MPD user for years, but the client/server experience was often fiddly. Once I discovered mstream (one very good web interface, no client/server separation, honors folders) I never had to look back.

You can give mstream a try

So basically, I need something like mStream or Audioserve that you point at a folder and you can play the mp3s in it. Nothing fancy, I don't need tags, etc. something strictly folder-based. It also needs the ability to link directly to the file. Mousikofidi does this, but I need something for Windows (I know, I know...) Essentially Apache but prettier.

Seems to be the exact opposite of https://github.com/fatedier/frp which is a reverse tunnel over a variety of protocols (including HTTP).

I've been self-hosting https://github.com/fatedier/frp on my little box, and it feels insane to think of the times where I didn't have it set up. There are many choices in the space as others pointed out, but frp's capabilities and lightweight packaging blows all other setups out of the water. I placed mine behind nginx with Let's Encrypt for SSL support. Hella fresh!

My setup to do the same:

- small Hetzner instance

- my domain's dns pointing to that instance

- frps[1] running on that instance

- frpc running on my local machine and connected to the cloud frps

An easy service to use is FRP, recently found it and it basically handles making the connection out of the network and is really easy to setup. https://github.com/fatedier/frp I personally having it running on a VPS and the client then running on my local network pointing at a reverse proxy which then handles sending it to the diffrent clients.

No, FRP - https://github.com/fatedier/frp

Another way around is to use reverse proxy like frp but since you need SSH anyway, all you need is already comes with SSH (reverse SSH)

Take a look also onto popular, similar to yours project: frp

You may want to take a look at FRP. It’s the same idea like Cloudflare tunnel, just without all the sophisticated features. You put a server (frps) on a VPS with public IP, and a client (frpc) within your home NAT. It can do both TCP and HTTP reverse proxy. I recommend a simple TCP one, and let your local nginx handle SSL.
