Navidrome Music Streamer

Navidrome is an open source web-based music collection server and streamer. It gives you freedom to listen to your music collection from any browser or mobile device.

This is a fully functional alpha quality software. Expect some changes in the feature set and the way it works.

Any feedback is welcome! If you need/want a new feature, find a bug or think of any way to improve Navidrome, please fill a GitHub issue or join the chat in our Discord server

Features

• Handles very large music collections
• Streams virtually any audio format available
• Reads and uses all your beautifully curated metadata (id3 tags)
• Multi-user, each user has their own play counts, playlists, favourites, etc..

Road map

This project is being actively worked on. Expect a more polished experience and new features/releases on a frequent basis. Some upcoming features planned:

• Transcoding/Downsampling on-the-fly
• Last.FM integration
• Integrated music player
• Pre-build binaries for Raspberry Pi
• Smart/dynamic playlists (similar to iTunes)
• Jukebox mode
• Sharing links to albums/songs/playlists
• Podcasts

Installation

Various options are available:

Pre-build executables

Just head to the releases page and download the latest version for you platform. There are builds available for Linux, macOS and Windows (32 and 64 bits).

Remember to install ffmpeg in your system, a requirement for Navidrome to work properly.

If you have any issues with these binaries, or need a binary for a different platform, please open an issue

Docker

Docker images are available. They include everything needed to run Navidrome. Example of usage:

# This is just an example. Customize it to your needs.

version: "3"
services:
  navidrome:
    image: deluan/navidrome:latest
    ports:
      - "4533:4533"
    environment:
      # All options with their default values:
      ND_MUSICFOLDER: /music
      ND_DATAFOLDER: /data
      ND_SCANINTERVAL: 1m
      ND_LOGLEVEL: info  
      ND_PORT: 4533
    volumes:
      - "./data:/data"
      - "/Users/deluan/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music:/music"

Build from source

You will need to install Go 1.13 and Node 13.7.0. You'll also need ffmpeg installed in your system. The setup is very strict, and the steps bellow only work with these specific versions (enforced in the Makefile)

After the prerequisites above are installed, clone this repository and build the application with:

$ git clone https://github.com/deluan/navidrome
$ cd navidrome
$ make setup        # Install tools required for Navidrome's development 
$ make buildall     # Build UI and server, generates a single executable

This will generate the navidrome binary executable in the project's root folder.

Running for the first time

Start the server with:

./navidrome

The server should start listening for requests on the default port 4533

After starting Navidrome for the first time, go to http://localhost:4533. It will ask you to create your first admin user.

For more options, run navidrome --help
