What you can build with Polaris
Polaris is an open-source music streaming server written in Rust, built to make a personal music library available from any browser or mobile device with minimal hardware. The Rust core keeps memory use and CPU load low enough to run comfortably on entry-level VPS plans while comfortably indexing libraries with tens of thousands of tracks across FLAC, MP3, MP4, OGG, Opus, APE, WAV, and AIFF formats.
Self-hosting Polaris keeps every album, rip, and Bandcamp download under your control with no monthly fee, no catalog churn, and no listening data sold to third parties. The first person to open the web UI completes a short setup wizard that pairs the library path with an admin account, so initial credentials never appear in logs or in the deployment template.
Key features of Polaris
Rust performance
Native Rust implementation keeps memory and CPU usage low so a large library streams smoothly even on the smallest VPS plans.
Lossless format support
Streams FLAC, MP3, MP4, OGG, Opus, APE, WAV, and AIFF at original quality with no forced re-encoding of your masters.
First-visit setup wizard
A guided welcome flow pairs your music folder with an admin account on first load, with no hardcoded default credentials in the image.
Multi-user playlists
Each household member gets their own account, playlists, and listening history without crossing libraries on a shared server.
Subsonic-compatible API
Exposes a Subsonic-compatible API so dozens of community iOS, Android, and desktop clients can connect without a proprietary app.

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. Kodee 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.
