How to Install Tagr on Your UGREEN NAS

Tagr is a self-hosted web application that lets you browse, play, and edit the metadata of your music files from any browser. You simply point it at your music folders and get a clean three-panel interface for navigating the library, listening to tracks, and writing tag changes directly back to the audio files. It supports a wide range of formats, offers full change history with the ability to revert edits, includes a waveform-based player with listen tracking, and works smoothly on a NAS. Iā€™ve been running Tagr as my everyday music library companion for a while now. Whenever I add new tracks or notice incomplete tags, I open it in the browser, fix the metadata on the spot, listen through the built-in player, and keep everything consistent without switching to a desktop app. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install Tagr on your UGREEN NAS using Docker and Dockhand.

šŸ’”Note: This guide works perfectly with the latest Tagr v1.14.0Ā release.
