"Navidrome is a self-hosted, open source music server and streamer." Navidrome runs on its own port; 16529 has been automatically generated for you, but you may choose another 5 digit port between 10000 and 32767.

Installation

1. Connect to your slot through SSH

2. Download the latest Linux x86_64 release

    wget https://github.com/navidrome/navidrome/releases/download/v0.57.0/navidrome_0.57.0_linux_amd64.tar.gz
   

3. Make a directory for Navidrome

    mkdir -p ~/navidrome
   

4. Extract the latest release archive

    tar zxvf navidrome_*.tar.gz -C ~/navidrome
   

5. Create a configuration file and fill with the following. nano ~/navidrome/navidrome.toml

navidrome.toml

    DataFolder = '/home/user/navidrome'
    MusicFolder = '/home/user/files' # change this as needed
    LogLevel = 'INFO'
    Port = '16529'
    Address = '0.0.0.0'

Additional configuration file parameters can be found here.

6. Start Navidrome in a background screen. You can change the music directory by changing ~/files to a different directory. Navidrome will scan all files and subdirectories in the specific directory.

    screen -dmS navidrome ~/navidrome/navidrome -c ~/navidrome/navidrome.toml
   

7. Access Navidrome at http://server.whatbox.ca:16529 and create a new administrator account. You will use this account to log in and use Navidrome.

8. (Optional) Remove unneeded data

    rm navidrome_*.gz
