The path to Funkwhale 2.0: more federation!
The path to Funkwhale 2.0: more federation!
Funkwhale’s selling point compare to other self-hosted media platforms is federation, but we don't do enough of it. Let's dive into how we want to change that.
I tried Funkwhale a long time ago. Docker support was horrible, and I had to CLi to import média.
Anybody knows if this is still the case ?
I tried it a few month ago. The docker support is still terrible :/. But I read somewhere at the same time they are going to improve that specific point.
The project is cool and I hope the devs are not going to abandon the project!
Thanks for the feedback
Funkwhale seems really interesting and I'd love to be able to listen to music without relying on a company's servers and getting tracked, and not being locked into that corporation's apps, but music specifically is just so hard to justify switching. I use YT music and it has access to soooo much music, and the recommendation algorithms are useful in letting me discover new music. There's just now way I'd be able to transition from something with effectively access to all music in existence to something with none. I kinda wish there was some service that could discover all videos tagged as music on YT, add them to funkwhale without downloading them, and then allow them to be in search and radios and stuff and just download the song with youtube-dl or something the first time they're requested. Ideally with some way to trim outros and such manually. I know even the first step of this (discovering "all videos" on YT) makes this completely infeasible though.
