awesome-selfhosted-nixos

This repository catalogs various services that can be self-hosted on NixOS, providing users with an effective initial configuration to start with. The objective is to promote the simplest methods for replacing various proprietary services using a machine running NixOS.

Media

For managing videos, music and photos.

Jellyfin

Jellyfin provides a self-hosted alternative to the likes of Netflix and Spotify.

services.jellyfin = {
  enable = true;
  openFirewall = true;
};

Tip: Create a dedicated folder (e.g.: /Data) owned by the Unix group jellyfin organizing your content inside it.

navidrome

navidrome is a Web UI (with compatible mobile apps) that streams your music files, providing a self-hosted alternative to Spotify.

services.navidrome = {
  enable = true;
  settings = {
    Address = "127.0.0.1";
    Port = 4533;
    MusicFolder = "/var/lib/navidrome/Music";
  };
  openFirewall = true;
};

Tip: Use yt-dlp -x <url> to download YouTube videos as audio, and place them under MusicFolder (owned by navidrome user) to start populating your music library (credit).
