How much RAM does Navidrome need?

Plan on 512 MB–1 GB for typical use; add headroom if you expect many concurrent users.

Can I run other things on the same VPS?

Yes — size the plan so Navidrome plus your other workloads fit in RAM with room to spare.

Media

A lightweight Subsonic-compatible music streaming server.

Stream your music collection to any Subsonic or Airsonic client with smart playlists, scrobbling and transcoding. Very light on resources.

Navidrome gives you Spotify-like music streaming from your own library, with no subscription and clients for every platform.

1
Provision a VPS
Choose a plan with room for your data as well as the app.
2
Install the stack
Install Single Go binary or Docker.
3
Deploy the application
Follow the project’s official install guide for your distribution.
4
Enable HTTPS
Serve it on your own domain behind a reverse proxy with a certificate.
5
Back it up
Schedule a database dump plus a copy of any uploaded files to an off-box location.

Give Navidrome its own database user with rights only on its own schema.
Reverse-proxy Navidrome and terminate TLS at the proxy so certificates are managed in one place.
Take a VPS snapshot before major upgrades so you can roll back cleanly.
Keep Navidrome patched — most self-hosting incidents are unpatched software.
