Must have
Installation requirements
- Docker and an image matching the host architecture.
- Writable /data and readable music directories for the configured container user.
Application hosting
Hosting Navidrome
A self-hosted music server for a personal audio collection. Persistent library storage and correct file permissions matter as much as the application container.

Understand the setup
Check runtime, storage and installation requirements before choosing a server.
See requirementsBudget your resources
Allow room for the operating system, database and your actual workload.

Planning guidance
No further general recommendations are published for this version.
Capacity depends on your workload
No fixed CPU or RAM minimum is established by this guide. Library size and simultaneous playback need separate capacity planning.
We only compare what providers publish. A RAM figure alone can't confirm compatibility or production capacity.
Deploy with
Supported paths
The host must provide
Runtime
- Official Navidrome image
- Linux AMD64 and supported ARM platforms
Storage
Persistent data
Persist /data for the database and cache. Mount the music library read-only when using the documented Compose setup.
Step by step
Plan a Navidrome deployment
-
Mount the library
Map your data and music directories and choose a matching UID:GID.
Official instructions -
Check access
Confirm the data directory is writable and the music library is readable before opening the service.
Official instructions
Security
Before you go public
- Run with appropriate user permissions instead of root.
- Protect remote access and retain backups.
Cost
Beyond the server price
- Allow for music storage, backups and transfer; no playback benchmark is assumed.
