For anyone who wants to stream music from a server they run, I strongly recommend my setup. I run Navidrome [0] on my media machine, and then connect to it via Jamstash [1] on my desktop browser or play:Sub [2] on my iPhone. Lots of features, few bugs, pretty easy.

Does this support downloading locally on the phone?

I live in an area where I frequently lose signal for about 45 minutes (a dead zone during my drive), so that's my #1 feature.

I generally download a small subset of my music to the phone, and stream the full library when I have service. But I'm really ready to replace Apple Music--the Android experience is just so bad.

From the iOS app page, yes, it supports manual caching of a song, a folder and a playlist.

Mopidy is also a good option. The iris frontend is quite nice. I’ve been using it with icecast to send streams to my chromecast devices, but it also works well with Snapcast.
