I run an Ubuntu server and would like it to host my music that I can connect to beyond my local network. I wish to do this because I would like to not load my laptop with music to preserve space. So will Firefly allow me to host music on my Ubuntu Server and allow me to access it anywhere?

The Daap protocol is only seen by devices on the local network. There are ways around this limitation.

One way is to use Hamachi, which is a very easy to configure software based VPN. All devices that join the same VPN network with Hamachi will appear to each other as being on the same subnet. Hamachi can run on Ubuntu.
