Navidrome

Navidrome is a lightweight, open-source self-hosted music server that streams your personal music collection via a modern web interface and compatible mobile apps.

🚀 Overview

Navidrome is a personal streaming service for your music collection, offering a fast web UI and compatibility with third-party Subsonic/OpenSubsonic apps on iOS, Android, and more. It handles massive libraries (tested with 900k+ songs), supports multi-user access, and runs efficiently even on low-power devices like Raspberry Pi.

This project solves the challenge of accessing and streaming large personal music libraries from anywhere without relying on proprietary cloud services, ensuring privacy and full control. It's built for self-hosters, audiophiles, and families who want a lightweight, feature-rich alternative to heavier Subsonic servers.

It was created to provide a modern, performant, and easy-to-use music server with broad client compatibility and minimal resource usage.
