Navidrome

Description

Navidrome is a self-hosted music streaming server that turns a personal audio library into a private, Spotify-style streaming service. It's compatible with the Subsonic/Airsonic API, so it works with dozens of existing mobile and desktop client apps out of the box.

Features

• Subsonic API Compatible: Works with existing Subsonic, Airsonic, and DSub client apps.
• Smart Playlists: Builds dynamic playlists from rules like genre, play count, or rating.
• Multi-User Support: Gives each household member their own library view and play history.
• Automatic Library Scanning: Detects new or changed files and updates metadata automatically.
• Lossless & Transcoded Streaming: Streams original quality or transcodes on the fly for mobile data.
• Lightweight Footprint: Runs as a single small binary with minimal resource usage.

Technology Stack

Backend written in Go with an embedded SQLite database; frontend built with React. Ships as a single binary or Docker image, with no external dependencies required.

Requirements

Linux, macOS, Windows, or Docker (including ARM devices like Raspberry Pi); minimal RAM (under 256 MB typical); storage sized to your music library.
