What would be the easiest self hosted way to share a music collection privately?

I am thinking of just granting guest access to the nas folder via wireguard or a simple caddy instance but also more sophisticated versions.

It would be good (but not a must) to have a search feature enabled.

Any recommendations?

      Navidrome is another server that works pretty well, implements the subsonic protocol ( so all the apps that can cache and stream to your mobile device work). You can have multiple logins, or just share out playlists and albums individually to non-authenticated users.

        But use Airsonic instead, it’s a fork that’s free in both the beer and speech sense.

        There’s also Navidrome, which is a unique backend, but works with existing Subsonic clients. Check out both, see which one you like better.
