Hey there! Happy Ubuntu user here, from France.

I listen to a lot of music every day and my collection is in a cloud. I access it with the WebDAV protocole, with a rclone command at startup. So the collection appears in Nautilus and accessible.

I'm trying the Navidrome server these days and I enjoy the general look & feel and the clients available (especially Noctune and Gelly).

But the configuration of Navidrome is quite... complicated. I find the explanations on their website quite minimalist, or maybe just oriented to developpers and tech savy people.

My main hesitation is with the user rights of the app. AFAIK, there's an admin user "navidrome" that needs to be created, and then the user itself?

The location(s) of the config file is a mess too. I choose to put everything related to Navidrome in my /home/[user]/.config/navidrome folder (but I still see some files related to Navidrome in my /home/[user] folder... ?

I searched for a while but couldn't find a clear and as simple as possible tutorial about the installation... Any hint?

Are you using Docker compose? I set it up a while back don't really remember it being to tricky. I use the admin account as my main account too no issues.
