+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.
