Swing Music is a beautiful, self-hosted music player for your local audio files. Like a cooler Spotify ... but bring your own music. Just run the app and enjoy your music library in a web browser.

Installation

Swing Music is available as pre-compiled binaries for Windows and Linux. Just download the latest release from the downloads page and launch it.

For Linux, you need to make the file executable first.

chmod a+x ./swingmusic

./swingmusic

The app should start at http://localhost:1970 by default. Open it in your browser to use Swing Music. You can change the default port by using the --port flags.

swingmusic --port 1980

Options

Options are flags that can be passed when starting the app in the terminal to tweak runtime settings or perform tasks. Example: the --port flag. Read more about options in the docs.

Docker

Pull the latest Docker image and run it:

docker pull ghcr.io/swing-opensource/swingmusic:latest

docker run --name swingmusic -p 1970:1970 \
  -v /path/to/music:/music \
  -v /path/to/config:/config \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  ghcr.io/swing-opensource/swingmusic:latest

Don't forget to replace /path/to/music and /path/to/config with the appropriate values. In addition, specify the the /music directory as the root directory. Using the Home Directory option won't work.

For more info, see the Docker section on the docs.

Using Docker Compose

Here's a sample Docker compose file:

services:
  swingmusic:
    image: swingmusic
    container_name: swingmusic
    volumes:
      - /path/to/music:/music
      - /path/to/config:/config
    ports:
      - "1970:1970"
    restart: unless-stopped
