hello,

im really tired of google music and spotify, and want to self host my downloaded music and create my library.

however, i know nothing about self hosting. My knowledge is absolutely zero. And Im completely lost about how to self host my own music. Dont find any good tutorial for dummies and i have a lot of question. I dont understand nothing. I see the tutorials of Navidrome and Ampache and still understand nothing. All of that looks extremely complicated to me.

How can i self host my music? I need to pay something? A very old and slow pc is enough?

Im completely lost. If someone can suggest something - like a tutorial , dunno - to build/self host my own music I appreciate a lot.

Hmm, never looked at it this way. I might start using their images too.

Questions about the user:

1- Their docs says it may be risky to run the app as root. Is the root in the docker container same as root of the host? I thought it was root but only in the container, separate from the host root's namespace.

2- And in terms of volume ownership: if I'm using Docker volumes instead of bind mounts, do I care about that? I haven't had an issue so far.
