Navidrome on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Overview

Navidrome is an open source, self hosted music streaming server that lets you stream your personal music collection from anywhere through a modern in browser web player or any Subsonic compatible mobile and desktop app. It reads the audio files you copy into its library, scans them automatically, and presents your albums, artists and playlists with cover art, on the fly transcoding to any bitrate, and a Subsonic compatible API that a wide ecosystem of player apps already speak. It is a privacy respecting alternative to hosted streaming services for anyone who would rather keep their music, and control over who can reach it, on their own infrastructure.

The server is a single self contained binary with an embedded database, so there is nothing external to run alongside it: you copy your music in, create your own admin account on first visit, and start listening.

Common uses

• A private self hosted music streaming server you fully control
• A family or team music library streamed through Subsonic compatible apps
• A privacy respecting alternative to hosted streaming for your own collection
