Half of that is the arr stack, some is management stuff, the rest is standalone stuff and not interlocked at all I think?
I'd consider something for authentication (like authelia or authentik) early on, so you don't have to convert all your services at once but can integrate them when you set them up.
Funkwhale is more of a thing for publicly sharing your audio, not for personal use, even though it might work as well. I think Navidrome is the most popular thing to stream your own stuff.
Generally I'd start with few services and learn your way around the whole stack before firing up 20 compose stacks without knowing what you're doing.
You might also want to think about a reverse proxy so you can access your stuff via subdomains instead of different ports.
+10 for Navidrome — solid piece of software.
I can’t recall specifics, it was a while ago now, but I was having issues with third party apps retrieving any more than a small subset of my music library from Navidrome. I switched to gonic (another subsonic implementation) and it worked right away.
Huh... well, glad you got it all worked out. Navidrome is the first thing to get fired up every morning. I can't start the day without my blues, jazz, soul, r&b, and funk.
For this part, i'm not sure what you mean by convert all my services? are you talking like a 2FA app or similar?
Not necessarily 2FA, but single sign on (SSO), so you don't have to log into every single service with it's own password but have a central identity authority that your services query.
