Prerequisites

Before you begin, you need to make sure that the following prerequisites are met:

• You have a Kali Linux Latest PC or VPS.
• You have root access to the server.

Step 1: Install Required Packages

The first step is to install some required packages on your Kali Linux Latest system. Open the terminal and run the following command to update the package list:

sudo apt update

Next, install the required packages using the following command:

sudo apt install curl ffmpeg libsqlite3-dev

Step 2: Download Navidrome

Download the Navidrome binary file using the following command:

curl -sSL https://github.com/navidrome/navidrome/releases/latest/download/navidrome-linux-amd64 > navidrome

This command will download the latest Navidrome binary file for Linux (amd64) architecture.

Step 3: Install Navidrome

Make the downloaded file executable using the following command:

chmod +x navidrome

Now, move the Navidrome binary file to the /usr/local/bin/ directory using the following command:

sudo mv navidrome /usr/local/bin/

Step 4: Create Navidrome User

You need to create a separate user account for running Navidrome. Run the following command to create a new user account named "navidrome":

sudo useradd -r navidrome

This command will create a new user account without a home directory and login shell.

Step 5: Configure Navidrome

Create a configuration file for Navidrome using the following command:

sudo mkdir /etc/navidrome/
sudo touch /etc/navidrome/navidrome.toml
sudo chown -R navidrome:navidrome /etc/navidrome/
sudo chmod 644 /etc/navidrome/navidrome.toml

Open the configuration file using your preferred text editor:

sudo nano /etc/navidrome/navidrome.toml

Copy the following content to the configuration file and save it:

[server]
http_port = 4533

[database]
url = "file:/usr/local/bin/navidrome.db"

[music_folder]
path = "/path/to/your/music/folder"

[auth]
enabled = false

Note: Replace /path/to/your/music/folder with the path to your music folder.

Step 6: Start Navidrome

Now, start Navidrome using the following command:

sudo -u navidrome navidrome -config /etc/navidrome/navidrome.toml

Navidrome will start running in the terminal. You can now access it using your web browser at http://localhost:4533.
