My previous guide for Navidrome involved the use of Task Scheduler. Today I’m offering a recommended and excellent alternative for installing the latest Navidrome version via Portainer. 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, fast and self-contained. Runs well even on resource-limited platform. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install Navidrome on your Synology NAS using Docker & Portainer.
