Hi! I’m currently using navidrome, but eventually I will probably need support for multiple users (each user has access to different music or the same music) which isn’t supported in navidrome right now. I don’t really want to run two containers of the same thing if I can avoid it. Thanks

    Navidrome can have multiple users. I don’t know that they can each have separate libraries though.

      The issue I have is that all users see the same music (all of it). I would like to be able to “disable/enable” songs/albums per user

      It’s especially nice to use either of these on Linux because you can use symlinks to have the server think the audio files are in more than one place without using any extra storage space.

        Just be cautious when moving or backing up the files, things like rsync and bakula have specific flags needed to preserve symlinks.

          You could go even further and use hard links. That way, you can have two paths pointing to the same data on the partition, with the space getting cleaned up only after all references to it are removed.

    Why not use a combined library if I may ask? This would be similar to things like Spotify or tidal but then self hosted.

      Actually… you’re f right. Why do I create problems for myself, just add everything to one pot and let users fav/star the ones they want and use the “Favourites” folders. Thanks

    I like Subsonic. The interface is a bit dated but it supports multiple users and has excellent android apps.

    I use Plexamp for that, Jellyfin does it too. You can assign libraries per user quite easily.

    So for 3 users you might have 4 libraries, one per user then a shared library they all have access to.

    Navidrome is still the best music server, even with all of its limitations. For what it’s worth, the developer is currently working on features intended to support multiple music libraries. It’s going to happen eventually.

      Well it doesn’t support browsing its library by folder, which is a no-go for me. I use gonic.

    I know you didn’t want to, but I’ll bet two navidrome instances will be faster and lighter than JF or Plex.

    I use Jellyfin. I think in your use case, each user would be setup have their own library. You can enable or disable library on a per user basis as will as a per client basis.

    Downside is that the default web interface isn’t great as a music player. It does the job but it’s not great.
    Other hand, multiple music-first clients exist for a lot of different platforms. Odds are good you can find a client that suits how you listen to music.

    Edit: said collection when I meant library.

    I need also LDAP or Oauth2 support, is there a good software with this feature as well?

          They recently got a huge update that overworked the ui and it’s absolutely brilliant. Don’t know if it’s out of beta yet but I’ve been using it for over a month and it works absolutely flawlessly.
