Deploy and Host Navidrome on Railway

Navidrome is an open-source, web-based music collection server and streamer for listening to a personal library from a browser or compatible mobile client. It is lightweight, supports large collections and on-the-fly transcoding, and provides a modern web interface plus broad Subsonic/OpenSubsonic compatibility.

About Hosting Navidrome

Hosting Navidrome on Railway uses one public service running the official, digest-pinned deluan/navidrome:0.63.2 image. Railway HTTPS forwards to Navidrome on port 4533, while /ping is used as the readiness check. A persistent volume at /data retains the database, configuration, caches, and application-generated authentication state. PORT=4533 is set because Railway health checks use the service PORT when a target port is configured. The requested single-volume graph does not include Umbrel's separate /music bind, so the music-library path or storage must be supplied or configured for the deployment's intended library.

Common Use Cases

Stream a personal music collection from a private Railway deployment.
Provide a Subsonic/OpenSubsonic-compatible backend for mobile music clients.
Browse and transcode a large, metadata-rich library through a responsive web UI.

One Railway service with a public HTTPS domain on port 4533 and a persistent volume mounted at /data.
Music files supplied through a configured Navidrome library path. The source Umbrel app uses /music; this Railway contract intentionally keeps only the requested /data volume.
