My only wishlist for Navidrome is SSO support besides reverse-proxy/forward-auth headers. I’ve got that setup with Authentik and Nginx Proxy Manager, but having to make specific path exceptions or duplicates with rewrites for apps/API, rather than just being able to generate an app password/token in Navidrome for an app to use, definitely is annoying. I don’t think I saw a write-up anywhere but I figured out what was needed.

Man I eventually stopped fighting that hurdle and just changed the login screen to say “Broken-ass auth” so I remember that one is different. I’m the only person using it at my house and recently went back to a car with a CD player and USB port for infotainment (such a refreshing change after a decade and a half of screens in my face) so I haven’t bothered to go back to fix it.

I fell through a similar rabbit hole going from YouTube -> Spotify -> light sailing -> YouTube -> Spotify -> Nextcloud + Navidrome

I followed a pretty similar route to what you’ve outlined! After my discovery stints on YouTube I stumbled into premium spotify, once premium was ending I converted my entire 2.6k songs from Spotify to local copies. Setting up nextcloud and adding the nc-music plugin, with Symphonium as an android client fixed my Spotify niche quite nicely. I’ve rediscovered bandcamp again recently and can’t wait to start actually purchasing and owning music I enjoy.

I think its also interesting to ponder ones own rules for what you’d consider ethical consumption.

Today is bandcamp Friday!

Thank you!
