Selfhosting
Selfhosting is where you're hosting your own websites, apps, software, tools, and much more on your own server instead of having to rely on 3rd-party cloud providers such as Hetzner. Taking this approach to hosting gives you more control over your data and how your server or servers are managed.
When you are running multiple things on one or two servers, within your home, it's called a "Homelab" and you're "Homelabbing" at that point.
Running your own server and homelab within your home is great for privacy-conscious individuals such as myself, tech enthusiasts, small businesses, and those seeking more control of their digital life.
The following lists provided here are applications and software I've gotten comfortable with and enjoyed using over the past 3 and a half years since I started homelabbing, it's based on my experience and what fits my criteria. Some well known softwares won't be listed here, as my experience may of not been at best with them.
My criteria is that software is built in the open, respects user privacy and security, should not require a license to operate, and don't contain profanity and other minor things.
I'm also willing to test new software to selfhost, feel free to comment or message me to try out other alternatives.
There are other places to check out as well for those interesting selfhosting, such as Awesome Selfhosted, selfh.st, and other places you can find on the internet.

If you ever need help with selfhosting, you can check out the following communities:
Homelab Community on Fluxer, I personally run
/r/selfhosted (Reddit)
/c/selfhosted (Lemmy / Fediverse)
There's also a wiki you can look into as well.
If you believe an alternative software should be added to this list, please contact me or direct message via my AlternativeTo account. I'm also available on Signal.
This lists gets updated every month at least, check back regularly.

1, +Responsive pages. Good for mobile phones. 2, +It supports transcoding (like 320k to 128k mp3). 3, -No LRC file supported. 4, +Support download (zipped package for playlists, single file can also be downloaded, and you can turned this feature off if you don't want to). 5, +Supports multiple user, supports for public or personal playlists. 6, -Songs can not be added to playlists by realistic folder if you have multiple folders. ( e.g /home/music/songs/a/ and /home/music/songs/b/ ), I put my folder name into "comment" mp3tag. And it can be recognized from "Songs", and now you could add them to playlist.
So far so good.
Very broken. Can't disable lastFM integration because the program rejects the config. Blank entries means it looks up. Filled a log file. Filled the VM's drive. 10 hours and hadn't scanned a library others did in 15 minutes. A very "our way" attitude over requested features they say they'll never support.
Great UI but overall lousy project.
A great music streaming server and awesome webapp! Even my non-technical family members used and liked it!
Lightweight, easy to setup and full-featured. Subsonic compatibility works well. Nothing to complain about.
Ps.: for smart playlists feature, I suggest you'll to check out Tauon. It enables to create smart playlists using Navidrome/Subsonic library.
Best self-hosted music server I tried so far. Much more usable than subsonic/airsonic etc, better metadata handling than Koel. Only lacking smart playlist support, and it will be perfect.
