  • 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.

  • LMS

    Lightweight Music Server. Access your self-hosted music using a web interface.

    • I dabbled with a number of music streaming servers, including Ampache and Subsonic (and it's many forks), and had trouble with either web interface loading times or app connectivity and couldn't find one that worked 'as advertised'. In one of these similar music streaming discussion threads, HN member epoupon mentioned the system they'd authored: LMS[0] (Lightweight Music Server), which I found ticked all the boxes and was quick and easy to setup - and there's also a docker image[1].

    Not affiliated in any way, just a satisfied user.

  • Ant-Media-Server

    Ant Media Server is a live streaming engine software that provides adaptive, ultra low latency streaming by using WebRTC technology with ~0.5 seconds latency. Ant Media Server is auto-scalable and it can run on-premise or on-cloud.

    • Its containerless :D and runs anywhere Java is installed.

  • airsonic-advanced

    • Did you also try AirSonic Advanced? I have not used it much myself but seems to be a strict improvement over AirSonic.

  • Navidrome Music Server

    🎧☁️ Modern Music Server and Streamer compatible with Subsonic/Airsonic

    • Navidrome [2] is another relatively new option for music streaming servers. Lightweight, written in Go, can handle very large music collections, and is compatible with Subsonic/Madsonic/Airsonic.
