This is important to point out. I donated double because the guy (Tolriq) updates it like every week and is always adding new features.

He just added native sonos support for grouping, individual volume control etc…

By far Symfonium is the best. There is no competition.

He even helped me figure out how to find my product key when it wasnt appearing.

Currently operating on GrapheneOS w no google for a few months now with no issues at all.

I have used Tailscale for about a year now. Flawless for a small ecosystem and couple of people and doesnt expose anything.

Bonus of routing all my traffic through pi-hole at home and then through VPN client on router

Deezer

Then while using that, learn to self host Lidarr + deemix + navidrome or jellyfin

Use tailscale to connect remotely very reliably and securely.

Use Symfonium app to stream your whole catalogue.

This is not what I would consider a difficult setup and it is incredibly reliable once deployed - I have had zero downtime in terms of being able to access and listen through Symfonium in over a year. You can download for offline use through Symfonium too.

Lidarr currently has an indexing issue to do with their metadata servers and musicbrainz changing stuff - they are testing the fix as we speak and it will be back up and running soon. This doesnt affect music you already have, just your ability to search new music.
