Overview
Gonic is a minimal, high-performance Subsonic API server that lets you stream your music library using any Subsonic-compatible client (DSub, Symfonium, Ultrasonic, etc.). It supports scrobbling, Internet Radio, podcast management, and jukebox mode. Being written in Go it compiles to a single binary with very low resource usage.
Where it falls short of Spotify
- No web player; requires a Subsonic client app
- Video streaming not supported
- Transcoding setup requires external ffmpeg binary
We list the gaps honestly so you can decide if the trade-off is worth owning your data.
