Subsonic API Version Compatibility
Check the up to date compatibility table for the latest Subsonic features available.Serve Navidrome on your own domain behind Caddy, Nginx or Traefik. Fill in your domain and copy the result. It's a starting point, some apps need their own base URL or extra headers set too.
Proxying navidrome.example.com to http://navidrome:4533
Add this to your Caddyfile
navidrome.example.com {
reverse_proxy http://navidrome:4533
}Check the logs first
Nine times out of ten the logs tell you exactly what went wrong.
- In Portainer, go to Containers, click the container, then Logs. Or run
docker logs <container> - Exit codes help too:
137means killed, usually out of memory.126or127means the command inside the image is broken.
Port already in use
If deployment fails with "Bind for 0.0.0.0:4533 failed: port is already allocated", something else on your server is using that port.
- Find what's using it:
sudo ss -tlnp | grep :4533 - Stop the other service, or pick a different host port. In
4533:4533only the left number is yours to change, the right one belongs to the app.
Running but the page won't load
The container is up but nothing appears in your browser.
- Use your server's real IP:
http://your-server-ip:4533. The 0.0.0.0 link Portainer shows isn't a real address. - Give it a minute after first deploy, navidrome can take a while to initialise.
- Make sure your firewall allows the port, e.g.
sudo ufw allow 4533
Permission denied on volumes
If the logs show "permission denied", the app can't write to its data folder on the host.
- Fix the ownership:
sudo chown -R 1000:1000 /portainer/Files/AppData/Config/navidrome(and the same for the other mapped folders) - Or set the
PUIDandPGIDvariables (defaults 1000:1000) to match your own user, found withid $USER
Image won't pull
Test the pull directly on the host: docker pull deluan/navidrome:latest
- "manifest unknown" means the tag no longer exists. This template uses
latest, so try pinning a specific version instead. - "toomanyrequests" is the Docker Hub rate limit. Log in with
docker loginto raise it. - "no space left on device" means a full disk. Reclaim space with
docker system prune
"exec format error"
This means the image was built for a different CPU architecture than your server.
- This image supports:
amd64, arm64, arm/v7, arm/v6, 386, riscv64 - Check yours with
uname -m: x86_64 is amd64, aarch64 is arm64. Raspberry Pi and other ARM boards are the usual culprits.
Required settings are blank
ND_BASEURL, PORT have no default value, and navidrome may crash or misbehave if left empty.
- Fill them in on the deploy screen before hitting deploy.
Stack won't deploy
Compose stacks fail fast on small mistakes, and Portainer shows the reason just above the editor.
- YAML only accepts spaces for indentation, a single tab breaks the whole file.

A Compose stack
Navidrome is a Compose stack, a set of containers defined in one file and brought up together by Portainer, then started and stopped as a single app.
The app image
An image is the app packed up ready to go, everything Navidrome needs bundled into one download. This template pulls deluan/navidrome:latest, which Docker fetches once (about 80 MB) and then starts your own copy from.
Where the image comes from
Docker pulls its images from registries, public libraries of ready-built apps. Navidrome's comes from Docker Hub, published by deluan.
Version tags
The bit after the colon in the image name is the version tag. Here it's latest, which always points at the newest build, so a redeploy can bump you to a newer release without you asking. Newest right now is 0.63.2. Pin a specific tag if you would rather stay on one version.
Which machines it runs on
Every image is built for particular CPU types. This one ships for amd64, arm64, arm/v7, arm/v6, 386, riscv64, so it runs on both regular x86 servers and ARM boards like a Raspberry Pi.
Ports
A port is the door the app answers on. A mapping like 4533:4533 means it's reachable on port 4533 of your server, where the left number is yours to change and the right one belongs to the app. It opens:
4533:4533
Volumes
A volume is where Navidrome keeps its files so they survive an update or a restart. Without one, anything it saves would sit inside the container and vanish the moment it's recreated. This template mounts:
/datafrom/portainer/Files/AppData/Config/navidromeon the host/musicfrom/path/to/your/music/folderon the host
Environment variables
Environment variables are the settings you hand over when you deploy, things like a password or a timezone. Navidrome takes 6 of them, and 2 need a value before it'll start properly:
ND_SCANSCHEDULE, defaults to1hND_LOGLEVEL, defaults toinfoND_BASEURL, needs a valuePUID, defaults to1000PGID, defaults to1000PORT, needs a value
Users and permissions
The PUID and PGID settings tell it which user and group to act as on your host. Point them at your own account (find yours with id $USER) so the files it writes into your mounted folders come out owned by you rather than root.
Networking
Nothing custom is set, so Navidrome sits on Docker's default bridge network: its own private space that reaches the outside world only through the ports it publishes.
Container name
Once it's deployed, Portainer names the container navidrome. That's what you'll spot in the containers list and use in commands like docker logs navidrome.
Platform
The platform is linux, the kind of system the container is built to run on. Docker and Portainer handle this on a normal Linux server.
Open source license
Navidrome is open source, released under the GPL-3.0 license. In plain terms the code is out in the open, so you're free to run it and change it to fit what you need.
Portainer app templates
Zooming out, this whole page comes from a Portainer app template: a short recipe telling Portainer how to set Navidrome up. Add the template list to Portainer once, then deploying Navidrome is a click rather than a wall of config.
