Navidrome

This repository covers my personal Navidrome instance. It provides music in my private network.

The following chapters cover setup, upgrade and backup. I publish it because it might help anybody to setup a similar solution.

Drawbacks

There are some drawbacks in this scenario which I would like to point out:

• In this scenario, Navidrome is running on HTTP without any transport layer encryption. Run this only in secure environments.
• docker-compose.yml is referencing to the latest images available in Docker Registry. In a enterprise environment, this is often seen as an anti pattern because it could lead to unintended updates and broken systems. However, in my specific scenario, I want to refer to the latest available image. If something fails unintended, I need to fix it.

Requirements

• Ansible 2.7 or higher
• Docker runtime environment with docker compose
• A Linux user which is used by Docker to run the container and has access to your music files

Setup

First of all, please instantiate Ansible var samples:

cd /YOUR/REPO/CHECKOUT/PATH/ansible
cp roles/install-navidrome/vars/main-sample.yml roles/install-navidrome/vars/main.yml

Open roles/install-navidrome/vars/main.yml in your prefered editor and adapt settings.

To execute this Ansible playbook, you can use following command:

ansible-playbook -i /PATH/TO/INVENTORY /YOUR/REPO/CHECKOUT/PATH/ansible/ansible_playbook.yml

Start

After setup, all containers needs to get started executing

docker compose up -d

in setup directory.

Upgrade

Ansible role is creating a cronjob which updates base images every night.

Backup

The role creates a cron job which executes a backup script on a daily basis. To copy backup data to a backup server, rsync is used. To enable backup, please ensure there is a rsync.pwd in your installation path which contains rsync password.
