Navidrome Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy Navidrome hosting on a server you control and stream your own music library from any browser or Subsonic app. xCloud configures the pinned Navidrome 0.64.1 image, creates the admin account during first start so the public setup form is never exposed, mounts persistent volumes for the database and the music files, and publishes it over HTTPS in minutes.

  • No technical skills needed

From Sign-Up to a Live Music Server In Just 3 Easy Steps

A music server normally means a container, an admin account, two volumes, a domain and a certificate before the first album plays. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

  1. Step 01

    Sign Up

    Create your xCloud account and pick Navidrome from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server, then either enter your own admin password or leave it blank for xCloud to generate one securely.

  2. Step 02

    We Deploy It For You

    One click. We bring up the official Navidrome 0.64.1 image, pinned by immutable digest, mount the navidrome_data and navidrome_music volumes, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.

  3. Step 03

    Sign In And Add Music

    Sign in as admin with the generated password, then copy your music into the /music volume of the container as a sudo user, for example with docker cp. Navidrome detects and scans new files automatically, and organises best when files follow Artist/Album/Track with correct tags.

Everything Navidrome Does, On Your Own Server

Navidrome runs in full here: the web player, multi-user accounts, playlists and the Subsonic API, on a single Go binary with its own SQLite database.

  • Modern Web Player

    Browse albums, artists and playlists in a fast web interface, with favourites, play counts and artwork served from your own server.

  • Subsonic API For Every Client

    Stream from mobile and desktop Subsonic-compatible apps against the same library, over your own HTTPS domain.

  • Multi-User Accounts

    Create accounts for other listeners under Users; the first admin is created for you during installation.

  • No Exposed Setup Form

    The template creates the admin during Navidrome's first start, so a stranger can never claim the server by opening the URL first.

  • Automatic Library Scanning

    Navidrome watches the /music folder and scans new or changed files on its own, and rescans on every start.

  • Persistent Library And Metadata

    Users, playlists, play history and artwork cache live on navidrome_data; the music itself lives on navidrome_music.

Hear what people are saying about us

See why agencies, developers, startups, and growing businesses choose xCloud to power their projects.

xCloud works really well, I am surprised by its performance being this the release version, I have tried many paid platforms such as runcloud, cloudpages or serveravatar, as well as free platforms such as CyberPanel, CloudPanel or Hestia Control Panel and direct competitors such as SpinupWP and FlyWP. Of all those that I have tried, the platform that works best for WordPress is SpinupWP and I believe that xCloud can reach and surpass that development, its roadmap is promising. Congratulations to the xCloud team, I hope they become the leading platform in the segment, it has all the potential to achieve it!

I've been with runcloud for the last 3 years. However, after trying xcloud for the last month, I'm switching over. They are on a roll with their setup.

I'm moving my servers to xCloud, a cloud control panel by M Asif Rahman and the WPDeveloper team. Their roadmap looks interesting and no, there are no team mates nor API limits with xCloud! #xCloud #wordpress #hosting

xCloud is like having an expert server team on call — without the big agency costs. It's given me back my time and given my clients peace of mind. Highly recommended for freelancers and small teams who want reliable performance and security.
Dumitru Butucel
xCloud isn't just a solution. It's like one of that friend who got your back when you screw things up pretty bad.
Waqar Ahmed
Trust me when I say, once people explore the potential of xCloud they gonna switch from other panels, just keep delivering the best tech, lots of love for the team 😍😍
Rahul Singh
So far my experience has been smooth like silk. I didn't imagine that configuring and managing a VPS would be so easy. As of today, I have deployed 8 sites. The support is good, and they treat users with respect, even if they ask stupid questions (myself included). For the future, I hope for greater flexibility in scheduled backups and more comprehensive and consistent documentation. I'm sure that within a few months, xCloud will become the leader in its segment. This community is amazing, and the Staff here is super helpful.
Massimo Villa
Came from cloudways then to runcloud then to xcloud. Looks like I'm staying here.
Gerson El
I've recently taken all of my Vultr-hosted sites and gotten rid of cPanel for them to substitute it with xCloud. I have to say, I'm really impressed with xCloud so far! The interface is definitely the standout feature for me.
Tony Lewis
I came from Cloudways and won't go back. Highly impressed with xCloud. Glad I gave them a chance.
Jared McDowell
I like xCloud better than RunCloud, but one thing I'll point out is that some years ago RunCloud was hungry for business, the support was outstanding, and the community was active and helped each other. Maybe it was sold, there was a change in management, or they stopped being hungry, but the quality of the RunCloud offering declined and it hasn't been moving forward quickly. My point is that currently the xCloud team has the edge and it is theirs to keep or lose

How Kevin Heinrichs Cut Hosting Costs by 84% While Running WooCommerce & Node.js Sites Efficiently
Kevin Heinrichs
I had 150 sites on cloudways and am in the process of moving them to xcloud. Much faster and better priced.
Dan Spinoza
Dear xCloud Team, I have been using xCloud for some time now and am genuinely impressed with its capabilities and the flexibility it offers by allowing users to bring their own VPS for management. It's a fantastic service, and my experience so far has been very positive. Successful migrated 5 sites on a single server. Xcloud migration tool worked great. There were few hiccups with security plugin like MalCare but disabling the plugin prior to migration worked just fine.

Came from runcloud. Tried xcloud and never came back.

Frequently Asked Questions

Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.

What is Navidrome?

Navidrome is an open-source music server and streamer with a modern web player, multi-user accounts, playlists and Subsonic API support, built as a single Go binary with SQLite. This template deploys version 0.64.1.

How do I get my music onto the server?

Navidrome has no browser upload. The navidrome_music volume is mounted at /music and is the library root; copy files into it as a sudo user with your usual server file-transfer workflow, for example docker cp into the container. New files are detected and scanned automatically.

Why is there no first-run setup screen?

Navidrome normally shows a create-first-admin form to whoever opens the site first. On a public URL that would let anyone claim the server, so the template uses ND_DEVAUTOCREATEADMINPASSWORD to create the admin user with the password from the install form during first start. The form is never shown.

How do I change the admin password?

Inside Navidrome, from the user menu. ND_DEVAUTOCREATEADMINPASSWORD is read once during initial setup; editing it in the Environment editor and redeploying does not change the password.

Does 10 GiB of disk cover my library?

The 10 GiB minimum covers the application and a small library only. Size the server disk for the full collection plus artwork cache and growth. Direct play costs no CPU; on-the-fly transcoding does.

What does xCloud configure automatically?

The pinned Navidrome image, the url, username and password shown in the credentials panel, persistent storage on navidrome_data and navidrome_music, the domain and the HTTPS route. Navidrome stays on internal port 4533, reachable only through xCloud nginx.

What should I back up?

Both volumes, together: navidrome_data holds the SQLite database (users, playlists, play counts, favourites, library index) and artwork cache; navidrome_music holds the files. Stop the container before snapshotting navidrome_data for a consistent copy. The library index can be rebuilt from the files, but users, playlists and history live only in navidrome_data.

Does xCloud automatically back up or update Navidrome?

No. The template pins Navidrome 0.64.1 by immutable digest; new installations use the pinned release, existing sites are not automatically upgraded. Back up first, read the upstream release notes, then update the image on your own schedule. Server-level backups and snapshots are available on every Cloud VPS.

What are the server requirements, and why does this page sell 6 GB?

The template manifest asks for 1 CPU core, 512 MB of RAM and 10 GiB of disk as a floor for Navidrome. This page sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung, with real headroom above that floor.

What survives a restart?

Everything on navidrome_data and navidrome_music, because they are persistent named volumes. Restarting the container does not touch that data.

Is xCloud officially partnered with Navidrome?

No. No official partnership or endorsement between xCloud and the Navidrome project has been verified. This is a deployment and server-management option for the open-source Navidrome project.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. There is no lock-in — cancel any time. Hosting is billed monthly and charged for what you actually use, so when you delete the server the unused balance is refunded to your account, less up to 10% in payment-processing fees.
