Airsonic Advanced and DSUB on Android are pretty good options since DSUB has advanced local caching options.

I aquire my music then run it through Picard for tagging which places it into my NAS where it is mounted to airsonic and jellyfin containers for consumption.

The jellyfin apps have gotten a lot better and I find myself using feishin and finamp more often lately.

A bunch of ai garbage and also some ads please! Maybe collect info about me and sell it to marketing corporations while you’re there.

I love my x1 from lenovo. No bloat at all and excellent customer service. I broke a USB port and they sent a guy to my house to fix it.

So for a cheat code, check out “ansible-nas” on github. It will do all the heavy lifting for you.

I would not recommend swapping out major components without doing a new install. Linux installation is quite simple these days, so back up your configs and put them in place in the new installation.

If you run things in containers, these kinds of issues are not as relevant. You can run jellyfin in docker the same on any host and pass the GPU through for xcoding.

Unfortunately I don’t think there’s enough info to answer your question specifically.

this is exactly my experience

Oh wow I did not know they had web versions! That is awesome! I might get a linux phone now and give this a shot.

The things keeping me from fully migrating to Linux on mobile are apps like Uber/lyft. They don’t have a web ui version, but I actually use them often. Also google maps navigation doesnt have any realistic alternative in my experience.

Check out the GitHub project ansible-nas

I prefer to use ansible to define and provision my containers (docker/podman over containerd). For work, of course k8s and helm takes the cake. no reason to run k8s for personal self hosting, though.
