Files on a SD card is what I do. It’s so simple.

Back in the day I used to use dynamic DNS.

Use syncthing-fork from fdroid.

I’ve been using ogg vorbis for music since about the mid 2000s. In the begining I was ripping them from my CD collection using grip on mandrake Linux (anyone remember?)

Nowadays I download vorbis direct from bandcamp.

Recently I compared 192 kbps vorbis files to FLACs and couldn’t discern the difference, which I’m happy about since my 15000 file collection can fit on a very cheap 128GB SD card in my phone.

I use syncthing to sync music to my phone automatically.

Really happy with the setup.

I looked into this recently.

There’s a DNS challenge designed for this exact scenario called (from memory) DNS01, but it’s more of a faff than I’m willing to get involved with.

Basically you push proof that you own the domain into a DNS record instead of to a file on a web server. It requires a DNS provider that has an API and a client that speaks that API.

It also leaks private DNS stuff into the public domain.

I’d love it if someone devised an easier way. Maybe there is an easier way?
