Black Candy is a self-hosted music streaming server built with Ruby on Rails and Hotwire, serving as a personal music center. It is deployed via Docker and offers companion mobile apps for iOS and Android.
Use cases
- self-host my own music streaming server
- stream my personal music library to my phone
- replace Spotify with my own music collection
- host a web-based music player on my home server
- access my MP3 collection from anywhere
- run a personal audio streaming service with Docker
When to choose
- you want a simple, Docker-deployable server for streaming your own music files
- you prefer self-hosted alternatives to commercial streaming services
- you want native mobile apps alongside a web interface
- you are comfortable with Ruby on Rails based self-hosted software
When to avoid
- you need multi-user commercial streaming with licensing management
- you want podcast or video support rather than music
- you need a lightweight client-only player without a server
- you cannot run Docker or a Rails application on your infrastructure
