Server + local player
The simplest self-built method is to use Synology's NAS + Synology's player Audio Station, but now there are also many players that support cloud services and Webdev protocols. In order to find the best solution, I spent a day searching for and testing multiple players, and organized the information as follows. Finally, I recommend: Nut Cloud enables Webdev + player Cloudbeats, or Evermusic.
