Scrobbling from Android 8+

[deved99]

Hello!

I deployed Maloja in my home infrastructure, but I couldn't find a way to scrobble from my phone, which is running Android 13.

I tried some clients, but I had the following problems:

• In Simple Scrobbler, I had the same symptoms as described in this issue.
• In Pano Scrobbler, the issue seems to be that Maloja is talking in HTTP, not in HTTPS.

Since I own a server with a public IP, I configured a reverse proxy to the Maloja instance deployed in my home. This way I could install a certificate with Lets Encrypt. This works, but I'm a bit worried for the following reasons:

1. It feels like a flaky solution,
2. It's exposed publicly and I couldn't find a way to require a login, this feels unnecessary.

Is there a way to avoid using this unnecessary proxy?
