Yuhoooo!
Another self-hosting goal is achieved!

this time: music streaming!

what I got:
an Oracle Cloud always-free compute instance+storage block.

around 185GB of free storage.

Apps used:
* Navidrome: for music streaming.
* aria2c: download torrents for music
* Tempo: foss app on android that supports Navidrome
* CloudFlare tunnels: to configure a public URL with much more ease of configuration compared to alternatives

aaand that's it!

aria2c has been my favourite commandline download tool for a long time.

I have also recently started using Persepolis, a GUI download manager that uses the same aria2 libraries as its backend.

There is a Firefox add-on which can intercept all download requests and move them to Persepolis.

@sakkara nice suggestion, I was wondering whether I should switch my torrent client instead. I usually just roll with (I think it's the default in most distros?) or in the command-line.

Also perhaps a good time to ask the fediverse about any other quality command-line torrent clients?
