Ampache Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Ask HN: Flac/MP3 listeners: How do you store/play your music?

  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. [1] - https://ampache.org/ [2] - https://github.com/ampache/ampache. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• What's yout preferred selfhosted music streaming suite?

  Ampache. I've been using it for a while and it's great. I'd suggest using it with Ample, as Ample's UI is better. It supports the Subsonic API, so subsonic clients will work with it. It also supports DAAP and uPnP, for other clients. It has it's own API as well, but not many apps use that. Source: over 1 year ago

• Selfhosted Spotify / YouTube Music alternative.

  If you're using a local music library, Ampache is really good. It supports docker too. The UI's customizable if you don't like it, they have documentation for theming. I'm not really sure what you mean exactly by spotify integration, but there are settings for spotify API keys in Ampache's config file so it might be what you want.

  Later on, I started using Ampache https://ampache.org/ to provide a server to host my music. This of course requires you to have Apache and PHP installed on your PC which I did already. Source: over 1 year ago

• Does anybody manage their own music collection anymore?

  Plenty of people do. Some even have a self hosted web catalog of their collection and a sub-set of them link their instances together. [1][2] Linking to the software, not peoples collections. Most are in private circles. [1] - https://github.com/ampache/ampache/wiki [2] - https://ampache.org/#preview. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• What are my next steps to get into a cloud engineer role?

  It's a lot. I would suggest starting with Linux. Get a server edition, with no desktop environment, since you won't have one in a container. A decent first project I tell juniors to do is get a LAMP/LNMP stack up and running in a virtual machine. It's even fine in VirtualBox. I don't know if you have any old MP3's laying around, but Ampache might be a fun project to try and get working. Get comfortable with the... Source: about 2 years ago
