  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS

  • Ampache

    A web based audio/video streaming application and file manager allowing you to access your music & videos from anywhere, using almost any internet enabled device.

  • I'm not sure if this would fit all your needs aside from running on Linux but Ampache [1][2] has been around for a very long time and has the ability to mesh with other instances. It started as a small project run by some students at OSU and evolved over time.

  • Kodi Home Theater Software

    Kodi is an award-winning free and open source home theater/media center software and entertainment hub for digital media. With its beautiful interface and powerful skinning engine, it's available for Android, BSD, Linux, macOS, iOS, tvOS and Windows.

  • Honestly? I use https://beets.io/ to organise all my FLAC on my NAS.

    I expose the /Music directory over NFC.

    I use https://kodi.tv/ to stream music to my amp. I manually pick the album I want to listen to.

    Kodi also has a fairly reasonable web UI.

    Keep it simple.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • Deej-AI

    Create automatic playlists by using Deep Learning to *listen* to the music.

  • For automatic playlists that make at least some sense I used https://github.com/teticio/Deej-AI in the past, is not human-level good but the results are enjoyable.

  • jellyfin-audio-player

    🎵 A gorgeous Jellyfin audio streaming app for iOS and Android

  • You're welcome! Finamp is very good, then there's also https://github.com/leinelissen/jellyfin-audio-player which is also worth trying.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
