• Bandcamp's Entire Union Bargaining Team Was Laid Off

  I would like to see something like Castopod [0], but for artists! Spinning up a website where you showcase and sell your music should (and could!) be as easy as using Wordpress, either via a subscription or self-hosted – on your own domain. Being plugged into the Fediverse makes it much easier to interact with fans and build a connection with your audience. It also makes it easy for people to share and talk about... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• self-hosted podcasting tools

  Try castopod, not used it in anger but it was easy to get going and running. https://castopod.org/. Source: about 1 year ago

• Cheap Podcast File Hosting?

  I'm planning on spinning up multiple podcasts. Since I'm quite good with webhosting I'm thinking of spinning up a cheap castopod.org instance instead of paying potentially a lot (in the future, if they happen to get downloaded a lot). Only problem of course is the traffic that comes from having to server every episode's files from a server, because cheap hosting generally has bandwith (and computational)...

• Is there a self-hosted software for hifi music streaming?

  It doesn't have a lot of features like complex searching and transcoding, but I like https://github.com/agersant/polaris. Source: over 1 year ago

• Apple Music is the last library focused music service

  Why not just run your own streaming service? You're here on hn, so standing up a webserver (or even a Raspberry Pi) is hardly beyond your means presumably. Subsonic [0] appears to be well polished. I've used a FOSS fork called Airsonic [1] previously, though I've played with (and liked) Polaris [2] in the past. All three would meet your (possibly only) requirement of using your own music, and I wouldn't consider... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Let's create an overview of selfhostable music servers!

  I can't send a PR right now, but https://github.com/agersant/polaris is worth adding. Source: over 2 years ago
