Hi Selfhosted,

I am looking for the best solution to replace spotify for at home and out of the house music.

I already have a large music library and run moOde for multiroom audio and use spotify connect to cast to it.

Is my best option to set up an MPD server and wireguard vpn to use it on the go? Are there other options? What would you recommend?

People will recommend Navidrome- but if you're like me then your music collection is organized by folders and not metadata. Navidrome does not and will never (developer said as much) support folder-based browsing.

I recommend using Gonic https://github.com/sentriz/gonic and then a compatible Subsonic client. Gonic has been the simplest and smoothest out-of-house music streaming experience for me.

I've not heard of gonic before. Why choose it over, say, Airsonic or one of the other Subsonic forks?

It's "just" as server, doesn't rely on Java and has seen a release this decade.

Yeah, OK, those are all appealing qualities

I use gonic with sonixd on my laptops, but probably might move to supersonic from sonixd.

On my phone, Tempo is really awesome!
