waifupaste.moe VS Mopidy

I've got a slew of different computers doing different things. All of them are networked together via Tailscale.

Ubuntu 22.04 Server for the host, everything else runs in LXC containers. This is all setup on ZFS.

- https://znc.in/ IRC bouncer

- https://caddyserver.com/ Caddy Webserver for a few personal websites

- https://github.com/AndroidKitKat/waifupaste.moe/ My personal pastebin

- https://transmissionbt.com/ Torrent client that I actually use for Linux ISOs. Primarily seed different versions of Ubuntu and the latest Arch. I am looking to seed other, lesser-seeded distros, too.

- It also runs Samba

A second, dedicated computer also running Ubuntu Server 22.04. It only runs https://pleroma.social for me and a few of my friends.

A third computer, this time an M1 Mac Mini that is my Plex box. It's running the latest version of macOS Ventura and runs all the *arrs and qBittorrent. It also runs Plex itself, because it's one of the only computers that I found that was low power enough but still supported hardware transcoding in Plex. I've been meaning to find a replacement for it running Linux + an AMD GPU (I have an rx470 sitting around somewhere), but no real good deals have turned up.

Lots and lots of FOSS music players use libspotify or can otherwise connect to your Spotify account.

Here's just one. It's BYO frontend. https://mopidy.com/

Probably a good time to give a shout out to Mopidy: https://mopidy.com/

Though as for myself, I'm still running Squeezebox - nothing like being able to SSH into your smart speaker and mess around with the Perl system that's running it.

Have you tried Mopidy or MPD daemon? There's even a mopidy-party extension that is

I've tried several times to get mpd working over a network. The only way I got it to work was with mopidy. At some point it broke and I moved on to jellyfin instead. Too bad, because I love ncmpcpp as a client.

I have a music library on my home server that I use mopidy to play via the iris plugin integrated into my home assistant UI. It plays over Snapcast which streams over the network to multiple devices in the home with independent volume control. I can fire up the Snapcast client in my phone to get it going there as well, which does work over vpn if I'm away, though I generally just fire up the files from my phones SD card for out-of-home listening. I recently started using whipper on Linux to extract audio from craigslist cds.

Could instead use Mopidy as the music player, which has plugins for Spotify and Airplay support.

Thanks! I use it on a daily basis, but I don’t think it’s ready for a wider adoption yet — for example, a pause button is still missing ... I’d be curious to know your experience with it though! For something more stable, you might like Mopidy.

Right now I'm reading about mopidy and iris (I have a server with some docker services and it would be nice using it as a Spotify connect device), I think this setup could be extended with extra algorithms, maybe they already exist as modipy extensions. I've never gone into detail about these but I'll do it!
