Just install the host app on the computer with your library (available for Umbrel, too), point it at your Music directory, then scan a QR code with the Pear Tune app on your phone, and you're done. No opening ports, no VPS and reverse proxy, and no need to use Tailscale or similar VPN. Just scan and you are connected P2P to your home computer's media library from anywhere.
quotingPearTune v1.0.6 is out!

Your music collection, playable anywhere, without exposing your server to the internet.
What's new:
New Features
- Like the song you're listening to straight from the player. The heart is on the player itself now, in both looks.
Improvements
- The albums grid keeps loading as you scroll. No more "Load more" button.
- Uses less memory while playing. The app now fetches music a little at a time instead of pulling a whole song ahead.
Bug Fixes
- Music now pauses when your Bluetooth car or headset disconnects, or when you unplug wired headphones, instead of sometimes carrying on through the phone's speaker.
- Your queue no longer disappears after a pause. If the connection to your library drops while the phone is locked, the queue is kept and comes back as soon as the library is reachable again.
- Tapping Shuffle on an artist now really shuffles from the first song, so the list no longer runs out after a few tracks.
- WMA files from a Jellyfin library now play, the same as from a folder library. (Needs the updated library host.)
- Music folders that use shortcuts or symbolic links are now included in your library. (Needs the updated library host.)
- On a Mac, "Update now" works again. Note for Mac users already on 1.0.2 or 1.0.3: install this version by hand once, and updates will apply themselves from then on.
