This is a call for general testing of the next version of Navidrome. Don’t do it if you don’t feel like trying cutting edge software, things may break. Here are the steps to upgrade.

First things first: CREATE A BACKUP OF YOUR DATABASE (navidrome.db*).

Upgrade to the BFR version:

Docker: use the label ghcr.io/navidrome/navidrome:pr-2709

Binaries for non-docker installations are available here - NOTE: Windows versions are not working at the moment.

Start Navidrome. It will automatically upgrade your database schema, and run a full scan. This may take a while, wait until it finishes.

Profit! If you find any issues, please report them here.
