Deploy Explo in one click installation.
Self-hosted music discovery engine that automatically builds playlists from ListenBrainz recommendations and downloads them to your library.
What you can build with Explo
Explo is a self-hosted music discovery server that connects your ListenBrainz listening history to your personal music library. It pulls weekly and daily recommendation playlists from ListenBrainz, finds the matching tracks via YouTube or Soulseek, downloads them, and creates playlists directly inside Navidrome, Jellyfin, Emby, Plex, Subsonic, or MPD — automatically, on a schedule you control.
Unlike streaming services that lock recommendations behind subscriptions and opaque algorithms, Explo gives you full transparency: every recommendation is traceable to your actual listening data on ListenBrainz, and every downloaded track lives on your own server. The built-in web UI lets you manage schedules, browse playlist history, and configure all integrations without editing config files.
Key features of Explo
ListenBrainz discovery
Pulls Weekly Exploration, Weekly Jams, and Daily Jams playlists straight from your ListenBrainz account — recommendations shaped entirely by your own listening history.
Multi-server support
Integrates with Navidrome, Jellyfin, Emby, Plex, Subsonic, Airsonic, and MPD, creating playlists directly inside whichever music server you already run.
Scheduled automation
Configurable cron schedules run discovery automatically — set it once and new music appears in your library each week without any manual steps.
YouTube and Soulseek download
Finds and downloads tracks via YouTube (with yt-dlp) or Soulseek (via Slskd), with quality filters, format selection, and smart deduplication.

Docker VPS hosting you can rely on
I'm incredibly happy with Hostinger's VPS hosting! Their uptime is consistently top-notch, keeping my site running smoothly. Whenever I've needed help, their technical support team has been quick, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful.
Everything is smooth and great with Hostinger, the AI chat bot + human chat, if AI can't resolve your question. Oh and them VPS is just fire, no ups and downs. Thank you dev team and everyone else involved. Keep it up 🚀
Finally a VPS hosting company that does it right! Well-priced. Excellent portal that respects their users' time. Seamless backups. Good support. Reliable. Feels rock-solid.
I reached out to Hostinger support after losing access to my self-hosted n8n instance, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Hostinger Agent and Mohammad from the support team were incredibly patient and thorough.
Many thanks to Carla for helping me with this N8N upgrade on my Hostinger VPS. Professional and knowledgeable, thank you again Carla.
Hostinger VPS is absolutely outstanding. It just always works. It is always fast and stable. Never down, never crashes.
The company is doing well, I am very happy with the specific services I use through them. Not as expensive as some places with really great VPS set ups and price plans.
