Not OP, but I also use Navidrome, hosted as a docker container on Synology NAS with reverse proxy for streaming outside the house. Have found the Symfonium app (paid) to be a great replacement for Spotify.
Performance is good and streaming works well. Not a fan of the webinterface personally but there are client programs available for all platforms since navidrome exposes the subsonic api.
Personally I use sonix on windows and linux as well as symfonium (paid but really great app) on android.
The only thing I am missing from it is better user management so that I can restrict specific users from accessing parts of my library.
Regarding access from outside my network I specifically wanted to avoid needing to be connected to a VPN so that’s why I use a cloudflare tunnel. Since my upload rate is not very good I have a Pi-Hole DNS server at home so that queries to my domain while in the home network don’t need to leave my network.
Navidrome replaced Spotify for me, with Symfonium on Android, I’m never going back. On PC you can use any Subsonic client, and there are plenty I threw Tailscale on top to access it when I go out.

Thay sounds potentially better than having to vpn in to use it.
How are you liking navidrome?

Seconding Synphonium, it’s surprisingly good and gets updates very regularly.

Thank you for the info. Sounds like I’ve got a fair bit to look in to. 👍
