Hey PH,

I've been working on SoundTime, an open-source, self-hosted music streaming platform. The idea is simple: host your own music library, stream it from anywhere, and optionally share tracks with other SoundTime instances over encrypted P2P connections no central server involved.

Why I built it

I wanted something like Navidrome or Funkwhale but with real peer-to-peer sharing, not just federation. When two SoundTime instances connect, tracks are transferred directly via encrypted QUIC channels and identified by BLAKE3 hashes basically like BitTorrent but built into a music app.

Features

- Upload & stream — drag-and-drop upload, automatic metadata extraction, adaptive OPUS streaming (320/128/64 kbps)
- Waveform visualization — real-time waveform display powered by Symphonia
- P2P sharing — connect with other instances, share and discover tracks across the network
- Lyrics — fetch and display lyrics from Musixmatch/Lyrics.com
- AI playlists — auto-generated editorial playlists via any OpenAI-compatible API
- MusicBrainz enrichment — automatic metadata lookup and correction
- Full-text search — PostgreSQL FTS across tracks, albums, artists
- Admin panel — user management, moderation, content reports, storage monitoring
- 5 languages — EN, FR, ES, ZH, RU out of the box
- One-click install — single `curl` command, Docker does the rest

I'd love to get feedback from the community. What features would you want in a self-hosted music platform?

Contributions are very welcome code, translations, docs, bug reports. Everything is on GitHub.

Thanks for reading!
