Ports
| Port | What listens | Source |
|---|---|---|
4533 | Default HTTP port for the web UI, the Subsonic API and streaming. Configurable with ND_PORT. | source for port 4533 |
Environment variables
| Variable | Required | What it does | Example | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
ND_MUSICFOLDER | No | Folder where the music library is mounted. Read-only access is enough; it becomes the default library. | /music | source for ND_MUSICFOLDER |
ND_DATAFOLDER | No | Folder for the SQLite database. Defaults to ./data, which the Docker image maps from /data. | /data | source for ND_DATAFOLDER |
ND_BASEURL | No | Base URL to set when Navidrome runs behind a proxy on a subpath or a different external hostname. | https://music.example.com | source for ND_BASEURL |
ND_ENABLEINSIGHTSCOLLECTOR | No | Controls the anonymous usage data collector that ships with the server, on by default. | false | source for ND_ENABLEINSIGHTSCOLLECTOR |
Volumes that must persist
| Path | What is in it | Source |
|---|---|---|
/data | Database and transcoding cache. The container needs write access here or it fails to start. | source for /data |
/music | The music library, normally mounted read-only. Navidrome only needs read and execute access to it. | source for /music |
Behind a reverse proxy
- Set ND_BASEURL when serving Navidrome from a subpath or a public URL different from the container's own address, or client apps mislink. source for this reverse-proxy note
- Route the proxy to the container's HTTP port, 4533 by default; change it with ND_PORT if the container itself is reconfigured. source for this reverse-proxy note
- The container must run with a user directive matching the UID:GID that owns the data folder, or startup fails opening the database file. source for this reverse-proxy note
