Usage Guidelines – Ubuntu 20.04 LTS with Navidrome – Streaming Server

To start the server, run the VM through Azure Portal
To work, you should open 4533 (TCP) ports in the network properties in the azure firewall.
After starting the VM, you can go to the main page. To do this, go to the following address http://*vm_ip*:4533
A page with creating a user with administrator rights will open. Fill out the form and click <Create admin> to complete.

To add audio to the library, you need to upload music to the server. For example, you can connect to a VM via PuTTY – Download
Run Putty, enter the VM address in the “Host” field, and click “Open” to connect.

In the opened console you will need to enter the username and password that were specified during the creation of the VM.
The configuration file in the path /var/lib/navidrome/navidrome.tom indicates the directory from which audio will be uploaded
To add audio, go to /home/navidrome/music directory and upload audio into it; it will automatically be uploaded to the server
Being in /home/navidrome/music directory, type the following command for downloading audio:

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

Now return to the site and update the list of songs (it may take some time before audio appears on the server)

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