Ampache

Ampache is a self-hosted web app for streaming your own music and video from anywhere. Point it at an organized media collection and it reads embedded file tags to build a browsable library you reach from almost any device. It presents a collection you already manage rather than organizing files for you. AGPL-3.0 licensed with 3,800+ GitHub stars.
