I use MPD on the server to play the music (which I control via various
MPD clients, mostly MPDroid (from F-Droid) on Android, Emacs's M-x mpc,
as well as via `client175' running on that same server, in case someone
wants to control it without having an MPD client installed).

And I export the media files to Kodi via NFS.

I'd be interested to hear a precise usage scenario with minidlna (or
similar): I tried it but couldn't find a convenient a way to make use
of it.  What clients do you use it with (e.g. from your laptop)?  How do
you let it play the music on the server itself so turning off your
laptop doesn't stop the music?

Set up a backup with another machine which is powered on every now and then.

I use such a setup to backup my photos on the system of my parent in-laws (and 
the reverse: their photos are backed up on my system).

All the best

Hi,
I want to store media files on debian in order to access it on my local  
network with kodi and other linux desktop.


I'm an expert user, but I want something simple just to let other people  
on family to use it.


I have checked openmediavault, but I'd like to use only software in the  
official repo, if possible.


Could you suggest some package to build a simple and powerful media  
server?


Any experience?

Thanks you.



I use minidlna. It is small and easy.

Of course, I was just asking which packet should I try :)

In your server, which tools are installed?

I'm going to install:

- dlna (minidlna)
- qbittorent web
- ssh or ftp to upload/download media and central backup
- verylight webserver


Are there more fun task to do with an home-server?

Thanks for help
