Ask HN: Self-Hosted SoundCloud?
I've got a lot of audio files I want to make available (all created by me) and I'd like to self-host them a la Soundcloud. Specifically like Soundcloud, in fact - just a bunch of files that are presented with webby player things, optionally with metadata but that's not hugely important.
I'm not after any "stream your music collection to XYZ" solutions or anything with authenticated users. Also ideally it would use a simple server with optionally SQLite for storage - anything with more than two moving parts is too much faff right now.
I've looked at the "Awesome Self-Hosted" list on Github but they're pretty much all "stream your media collection" type solutions. Tried to install Polaris (didn't work) and Rauversion (requires Postgres).
- themodelplumber 4y agoI used Subsonic for a long time and was very happy with it. http://www.subsonic.org/ http://www.subsonic.org/ Not sure if it's too much faff though, YMMV
- verdverm 4y agoWhat about an html file and nginx?
- zimpenfish 4y agoAs long as something generates the HTML page with all the relevant sound playing bits for me (which is the hard part, as far as I'm concerned), I'm A-OK with a static(ish) HTML page.
- zimpenfish 4y agoThat did give me the idea to check if there's any Hugo themes which might work and there are some good contenders. Excellent help, thanks!
- jethronethro 4y agoHave you investigated Funkwhale (https://funkwhale.audio/ https://funkwhale.audio/)? Might not give you the bunch of files that are presented with webby player things experience that you're looking for, though.
- zimpenfish 4y agoI did have a look at Funkwhale but the list of requirements is too much for something this simple (but if I ever need a "stream my media from XYZ" solution, I'll definitely look at it again.)
- _spduchamp 4y agoI just put links to the MP3 and FLAC files on my website and let the browser handle playing the files. It seems to work quite well and on some devices I can Chromecast the files to play them.
