Funkwhale
Modern, web-based, convivial, multi-user and free music server.
Developed outside the platforms our data source measures, so there is no activity history to score. This says nothing about the project — many unrated projects are actively maintained.

Is Funkwhale actively maintained?
We cannot measure this one. Funkwhale is developed outside the platforms our data source collects activity from, and its repository lives at dev.funkwhale.audio — so there is no commit history or release cadence here to score.
Read that as missing data, not as a warning. Several of the best-maintained projects in this catalogue are unrated for exactly this reason. To judge it, open the repository and look at the date of the most recent commit yourself.
What Funkwhale actually does
Funkwhale is a web-based, multi-user audio streaming server built with Python. It allows you to host and stream your personal music collection through a browser interface. As a self-hosted platform, it gives you full control over your audio files and user access.
Best fit: It is a suitable choice if you want to run a private music streaming service for multiple users on your own infrastructure.
Worth knowing: The project currently lacks recent release data and visible repository activity, which indicates potential maintenance risks. You should evaluate its long-term viability before committing to a production deployment.
Deployment notes
As a Python web application, it typically requires a WSGI or ASGI server behind a reverse proxy like Nginx to handle TLS termination. You will also need to configure persistent storage for the media files and a separate relational database.
