mStream VS Gossa

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.

Reminds me of Gossa.

Looks very promising, reminds me a lot of gossa with a friendlier UI.

In the past I've used an application called Gossa, a filebrowser made in Go. It didn't have an authentication/login screen and he explained it like this:

I host something similar, with Gossa. Not exposed to the internet of course, but works very well.

As others here suggest, try looking for a more lightweight solution - eg gossa https://github.com/pldubouilh/gossa ?

https://github.com/pldubouilh/gossa I did not test it with android or ios.

Gossa has an archiver build-in, just press CTRL+ENTER to download as archive.

Most simple application: Gossa

For just simple file hosting, I've found Gossa: https://github.com/pldubouilh/gossa
