Last.fm

Navidrome can use Last.fm to retrieve artists biographies, top songs, similar artists and album covers. It can also send your scrobbles to Last.fm. For these features to work, you’ll need to set the config options LastFM.ApiKey and LastFM.Secret. You can obtain these values by creating a free API account in Last.fm:

Go to https://www.last.fm/api/account/create and create an API account. Only the Application Name field is mandatory:

After submitting the form, you can get the API Key and Shared Secret from the Account Created page:

Externalized Authentication

For Beginners

Externalized authentication is a relatively advanced topic. You can check the Quick Start guide for a beginner-friendly introduction.

Security Note

Navidrome works out of the box behind a reverse proxy without enabling externalized authentication.

You only need to enable externalized authentication if you want the proxy to handle the authentication. In other cases, enabling the feature without securing the reverse proxy configuration can leave your Navidrome setup vulnerable to impersonation attacks.

Currently, Navidrome supports monitoring and alerting using Prometheus/OpenMetrics standard. Example Grafana dashboard:

Overview

Prometheus is a service that takes data from a metrics endpoint and collects it. Grafana is a dashboard service that can take data from a Prometheus server and display it. Navidrome has an easy way to create a metrics endpoint that Prometheus can use. Once you point Prometheus to this endpoint, and Grafana to your Prometheus server, you will be able to monitor your Navidrome instance.
