Navidrome allows you to enjoy your music collection from anywhere by making it available through a modern Web UI and through a wide range of third-party compatible mobile apps, for both iOS and Android devices. Navidrome is open source software distributed free of charge under the terms of the GNU GPL v3 license. Navidrome is blazing fast, lightweight, and self-contained. It runs well even on resource-limited platforms. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install Navidrome on your UGREEN NAS using Docker & Portainer.

💡Note: This guide works perfectly with the latest Navidrome v0.55.2 release.

💡Note: Check out my guide on how to Install Navidrome on Your Synology NAS.

• STEP 1

Please Support My work by Making a Donation.

• STEP 2

⚠️Mandatory Add Read & Write Permissions to the Docker Folder. If you have already added the Read and Write Permissions to the Docker Folder, skip this STEP.

• STEP 3

⚠️Mandatory: Update your UGREEN NAS Firmware to the latest version. Go to Control Panel / Update and update your NAS with the latest Firmware.

• STEP 4

Install Portainer using my step by step guide. If you already have Portainer installed on your UGREEN NAS, skip this STEP. Attention: Make sure you have installed the latest Portainer version.

• STEP 5

Go to Files and open the docker folder. Inside the docker folder, create one new folder and name it navidrome. Follow the instructions in the image below.
Note: Be careful to enter only lowercase, not uppercase letters.

• STEP 6

Log into Portainer using your username and password. On the left sidebar in Portainer, click on Stacks then + Add stack. Follow the instructions in the image below.

• STEP 7

In the Name field type in navidrome. Follow the instructions in the image below.

Note: Copy Paste the code below in the Portainer Stacks Web editor.

services:
  navidrome:
    container_name: Navidrome
    image: deluan/navidrome
    mem_limit: 6g
    cpu_shares: 1024

      ND_ENABLEINSIGHTSCOLLECTOR: false

Note: Before you paste the code above in the Web editor area below, change /volume1/web/music with your personal path to music (where your music files are located). For example I have used my personal music path folder /volume1/web/music Change it according to your preferences.
Note: Before you paste the code above in the Web editor area below, change the value numbers for PUID and PGID with your own values. (Follow my step by step guide on how to do this.)

• STEP 8

Scroll down on the page until you see a button named Deploy the stack. Click on it. Follow the instructions in the image below. The installation process can take up to a few minutes. It will depend on your Internet speed connection.

🟢Please Support My work by Making a Donation. Almost 99,9% of the people that install something using my guides forget to support my work, or just ignore STEP 1. I’ve been very honest about this aspect of my work since the beginning: I don’t run any ADS, I don’t require subscriptions, paid or otherwise, I don’t collect IPs, emails, and I don’t have any referral links from Amazon or other merchants. I also don’t have any POP-UPs or COOKIES. I have repeatedly been told over the years how much I have contributed to the community. It’s something I love doing and have been honest about my passion since the beginning. But I also Need The Community to Support me Back to be able to continue doing this work.

• STEP 11

The installation process can take up to a few seconds/minutes. It will depend on your Internet speed connection. Now open your browser and type in http://ugreen-ip-address:4533 Create a Username and a Password, then click the CREATE ADMIN button. Follow the instructions in the image below.

• STEP 12

Enjoy your music with Navidrome!
