genai news (-), talking about self-hosting and projects (+)
Wow am I glad to be gone from there.On that note:
I recently set up an extremely easy to deploy and administrate self-hosted music stack for myself and wife! I should publish that
It's pretty cool, because the music itself is stored completely encrypted on an S3 bucket, and it automatically retrieves new songs from Artists we like, or all/specific songs/albums from a new artist, on request. These acquisitions all go through a Wireguard container, so that they go through the VPN that I use. The actual Navidrome server is not routed through the VPN at all, and instead is just publicly accessible, although it of course has authentication, so that it isn't a free-for-all.
I should refine this, document it, and potentially publish it. Setup is super easy, just
- Generate secrets for encryption etc.
- Fill in your wireguard private key
-
docker compose upCould be neat for interested and perhaps inexperienced self-hosters wanting a comfy escape from Spotify!
