That’s just silly.

Self hosting is all about Digital Autonomy; that’s just not possible with a windows OS.

Apart from that it would just make your life harder, as the vast majority of documentation and tutorials and helper scripts are based on some linux like OS.

It enters the realm of mis-, even disinformation when true statements that contradict a narrative are actively repressed.

Selective truth can easily be a lie.

I have a setup at home. It joins my Jellyfin, Qobuz, soma.fm, and a few more sources and feeds my home and mobile music(etc) needs.

I honestly wouldn’t want to miss it.

Home Assistant uses it for wake-up music in the morning, to make sure the music follows me around the flat by joining speakers or transferring the queue using presence sensors, and probably a few more things.

Ah, yes, Sonos haven’t implemented Qobuz Connect yet, so the Qobuz app doesn’t know how to deal with Sonos speakers, but with Music Assistant that doesn’t matter in the slightest. MA knows how to talk to my speakers and how to talk to Qobuz.

Essentially, MA is to Audio what Homeassistant is to home automation.

Definitely loving it.

Proxmox helper scripts - at least the ones i use - come with a tag updateable. Those tagged have a command update that runs everything necessary on containers, VMs whatever.

Makes life simple, mostly.

The only manual interaction I’ve had was upgrading some VMs Debian from 12 to 13.
