This is great, and it doesn't have to be as complicated to get started. Here's my setup -

navidrome running in docker on my server (a NUC in the basement, with a copy of the library)
tailscale to access the server from outside my home network (I run headscale, a self-hosted coordination server on a VPS, but the free company hosted default would be fine)
Ultrasonic on my phone (I like the ability to "pin" songs or albums to keep offline)
local copy of the library on my desktop which I listen to with Quod Libet

I cancelled my Spotify membership back in April and have been buying on average an album a month, either Bandcamp or directly from artists if possible. Bandcamp is also decent for discovering new artists, and I've also gone old-school and sought out music critic websites that cover the genres I like.
