Sharing
NOTE
Please be aware that the Sharing feature is still under active development, and improvements to the functionality are expected in future updates. Please report any issues or suggestions to the Navidrome GitHub issues page.Navidrome has a “Sharing” feature which allows users to generate a shareable link for a track, album, artist, or playlist. This link can then be sent to friends, allowing them to listen or download the music without having an account on your Navidrome instance.
Enabling the Sharing Feature
Recent versions of Navidrome have the Sharing feature enabled by default. To use it, make sure the config option EnableSharing (or the environment variable ND_ENABLESHARING) is set to true. For details how how to configure Navidrome, see the configuration documentation.
Using the Sharing Feature
When browsing your music collection, you will notice a “Share” button or menu item available for each item, be it a track, album, artist, or playlist. To share an item, simply click on this “Share” button.
Upon clicking the “Share” button, a dialog box will appear, allowing you to configure your share. This includes setting a description other configurations for the share.
Once you have configured your share as desired, click the “Share” button. This will generate a unique shareable link, which you can then copy and share with your friends.
The generated sharable links will be in the following format: http://yourserver.com/share/XXXXXXXXXX. If you have Navidrome behind a reverse proxy, ensure you allow traffic to /share.
Subsonic API Endpoints
The Sharing feature also implements the related Subsonic API endpoints. See the API docs for implemented endpoints
