If you have a huge physical music collection or a desire to not pay for your music, running a Music server is a great way to organize your collection. This guide will be covering configuring [Navidrome](https://www.navidrome.org/) and [slskd](https://github.com/slskd/slskd/).
This tutorial will be assuming you're running your music server in the `/srv/music` directory, but it should be trivially easy for you to change where it is. We'll also be assuming you have `docker` and `docker-compose` installed.
```bash
# This tutorial assumes you're root
# Firstly, we should create the /srv/music directory
mkdir /srv/music
cd /srv/music
# Now we should create the compose.yml file
nano compose.yml
```
**compose.yml**
```yaml
services:
navidrome:
image: deluan/navidrome:latest
user: 1000:1000
ports:
- "4533:4533"
restart: unless-stopped
environment:
ND_SCANSCHEDULE: 1h
ND_LOGLEVEL: info
ND_SESSIONTIMEOUT: 24h
ND_BASEURL: ""
volumes:
- "./navidrome:/data"
- "./soulseek/downloads:/music" # you can change this to something else if you aren't using soulseek.
# the slskd container is entirely optional if you do not want to engage in piracy.
slskd:
image: slskd/slskd
container_name: slskd
ports:
- "5030:5030"
- "5031:5031"
- "50300:50300"
environment:
- SLSKD_REMOTE_CONFIGURATION=true
volumes:
- ./soulseek:/app
restart: always
```
```bash
# Now we should run the stack to generate config files
docker-compose up -d
# Wait around 20-30 seconds until shutting down the containers
docker-compose down
# Now we'll edit the slskd config
nano ./soulseek/slskd.yml
```
If you're running this locally, i.e. you won't expose this to the internet, I suggest enabling `web.authentication.disabled`. Otherwise, setup an username and a password. Don't use common usernames. Also, you must create a soulseek account and add it to your slskd config (`soulseek.username` & `soulseek.password`)
```bash
# Now you can run your stack
docker-compose up -d
```
Now, you must configure an administrator Navidrome account. Browse to `https://[your server ip]:4533/` and make your administrator account. Now you can add your music to whatever folder you configured, or `/srv/soulseek/downloads`. For soulseek, you'll have to browse to `https://[your server ip]:5030/` and login.
From here, you can go bananas.
Thanks for reading this quick tutorial.
