Looking to access the music from an Android app.

Currently I'm using Jellyfin (since I already use it for other stuff), but it isn't ideal. No option to download entire albums easily, and if the server is offline then I can't even use the music downloaded to my phone.

I use Navidrome as the backend and DSub to connect to it. When I'm on the go I use a site-to-site wireguard VPN connection back to my server to listen to music and it also caches the songs so even if I don't have reception I can still listen to my music.

Similar setup for me: Navidrome container on my NAS, DSub or Symfonium on Android, and Wireguard for music while I run.

Any reason you prefer to wireguard into Navidrome instead of reverse proxying to a domain?

probably more secure that way and you dont have to fuck with domains.

i have my setup with reverse proxy and domain with plex and plex amp

Yeah this is it for me, I'm happy to connect to it via IP and I only have to punch 1 port open in my firewall for wireguard and I can access more than just my music server remotely.

Navidrome is great. I use Substreamer on my Android device while my wife can use the same on iOS. Started off a little buggy when it released but it's very stable nowadays. I think many have moved to it from DSub according to Google Play reviews.

I mainly use DSub simply because I don't need constant updates for my music player and it already pretty much does what I need it to. The other plus it's on F-Droid so I don't have to use Aurora store to download it.
