What size do you need for Navidrome?
Navidrome's documentation gives no RAM figure and describes very low resource use, even on a Raspberry Pi Zero. As a rule of thumb, 1 GB is a good start, and 2 GB helps with several users or frequent audio transcoding. Disk is what really matters: add up your collection and leave headroom, bearing in mind that lossless FLAC takes far more space than MP3. Audio transcoding runs on the CPU and needs no graphics card. Disk grows from your panel but can't shrink.

Good to know
- You hold the rights and legal responsibility for the music you upload. Only upload files you're allowed to use.
- Navidrome organises files by their tags. If tags are missing, albums fall apart, so fix them on your computer before you upload.
- The music folder is read-only: Navidrome doesn't change your files or write tags. The official docs explain this as a security decision.
- There's no upload button in the interface, which the official docs also describe as by design. You upload over SFTP.
- Navidrome is free and needs no outside account. Some third-party phone apps may charge for themselves.
- Keeping Navidrome up to date is your job, and the install stays on the version it started with.
Navidrome questions and answers
How much RAM does Navidrome need?
There's no official figure, and the docs describe very low resource use, even on a Raspberry Pi Zero. As a rule of thumb, 1 GB is a good start, and 2 GB helps with several users. If it isn't enough, you scale up from your panel, and your music and IP address stay the same.
How do I upload music to a Navidrome server?
Upload over SFTP to /opt/seturack/navidrome/muzik, using the Username and Password rows in your panel for the connection. Navidrome scans the folder by itself, and your music appears in the interface shortly afterwards.
How do I listen to Navidrome on my phone?
Navidrome works with Subsonic and OpenSubsonic apps, and its official apps directory lists plenty for Android and iOS. Install one, then enter the Site address value, your login and your password. The browser interface also opens on a phone.
Why do my albums look scattered in Navidrome?
Navidrome organises music by tags, not by folders. On an album with several artists, the Album Artist tag must match on every track, and compilations need the compilation tag set. Fix the tags on your computer and upload the files again.
Can I create several users in Navidrome?
Yes. Navidrome is multi-user, and each person gets their own play counts, playlists and favourites. As the administrator, you add people in the Users section.
Is Navidrome free?
Yes. Navidrome is open source under GPL-3.0, with no paid tier and no required outside account. You only pay for the server, though third-party phone apps may have their own prices.
