Target: Any Docker hostMediaMusicOfficial homepage ↗Official docs ↗
This guide is synthesized from Navidrome's own official documentation, linked above — always cross-check exact package/version names there before running these commands on a production server, since distro and project versions move over time.

  1. 1Compose file

    Define the Navidrome service, pointing volumes at your data folder and your music library.

    services: navidrome: image: deluan/navidrome:latest user: 1000:1000 ports: - "4533:4533" restart: unless-stopped volumes: - "/path/to/data:/data" - "/path/to/your/music/folder:/music:ro"

    Set `user` to your host UID:GID (find them with `id -u` and `id -g`) and make sure that user owns the data folder.

  2. 2Start Navidrome

    docker-compose up -d

  3. 3Create the admin account

    On first visit, Navidrome asks you to create the first admin user directly in the web UI.

    open http://localhost:4533
