If you need something even more simple, a no-configuration audio streaming server is here: github.com/fgergo/boringstreamer I wrote boringstreamer to listen to my collection. I start one or more instances on different ports in different directories and connect to different ports similar to fm radio frequencies. (With tailscale I can listen from anywhere without any explicit access control.)
