  1. To connect to the virtual machine, you need to open port 4533(TCP) in the Azure firewall.

  3. Run the PuTTY program, then enter the address of the virtual machine in the “Host Name (or IP address)” field and click “Open” to connect
  1. In the console that opens, enter the username and password that were specified when creating the machine

Note that the password is not shown when typed into the console 

  1. The configuration file in the path /var/lib/navidrome/navidrome.tom indicates the directory from which audio will be uploaded
  2. To add audio, go to  /home/navidrome/music directory and upload audio into it; it will automatically be uploaded to the server

Enter command > cd /home/navidrome/music

  1. Being in /home/navidrome/music directory, type the following command for downloading audio:

> sudo wget -O %file_name% %link_to music%

For instance:
> sudo wget -O Omen.mp3 ‘https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1kaj9cpLcgwcu0hPp6N2cUE8cIzoWM31t&export=download‘

  1. After starting the VM, you can go to the main page. To do this, go to the following address http://*vm_ip*:4533
  2. A page for creating a user with administrator rights will open. Fill out the form and click <Create admin> to complete it.
  1. Now return to the site and update the list of songs (it may take some time before audio appears on the server)

If you did everything right, then on the main page should appear your tracks that you can play directly from the browser.
