I do something similar with the subsonic protocol by locally hosting Airsonic[0] and listening with Strawberry Player[1] on Desktop and iSub[2] on iOS. Using Tailscale[3], I'm able to stream my library on the go. Best part is that all this infra is free and pretty hands-off maintenance-wise.

Could such a setup be used for streaming movies as well? If yes, could you explain how?

  Plex, Emby, and Jellyfin all could be used to accomplish this.

    Yup! I run Jellyfin on the same machine as Airsonic for movies and shows.

Nice breakdown! I use wireguard myself, but several friends keep trying to convert me to Tailscale. I’m strongly of the opinion that WG is working, so I’ll just let it keep working. But if I had to set up a VPN from scratch, Tailscale is awfully tempting.

  Honestly, the only reason I use Tailscale is bc the set-up was easier than WG and the subnet router is handy (though not essential)[0]. I'd just be using WG if I figured out how to set it up the first time ahaha. It's nice to get rid of third-parties whenever possible, especially when it comes to my personal IT infrastructure.

I do the same, though I recently switched from subsonic to navidrome. My home music server has my wife and I’s mp3 collection that we’ve been building since like 2000. However, I’m continuously buying new music on bandcamp and scouring music blogs, and the collection grew until she was overwhelmed by the selection. So then I took her old click-wheel ipod music collection (which broke, but she had the music backed up), and I put that on a USB which is plugged into our Yamaha Musiccast receiver. The interface is pretty simple in the musiccast app (scroll and choose). She’s happy to have her collection locked to like 2012 in an ipod-like fashion. But she still misses that ipod. The screen started fading, and I took it apart to replace parts, and in the process I screwed up the battery. It only works when docked and dies immediately when undocked.

  Thanks for the Navidrome suggestion! Looks slick
