Web UI

The Web UI is mostly self-explanatory so this is just a quick tour, plus the handful of things that are only reachable through it (that is, not exposed to Subsonic clients).

Public homepage

Your configured http://<host>:<port>/ (or your external_hostname) shows a public homepage.

Note: The “Login” button will only show up on the host allowed by admin_hostname if this setting is set.

If public_now_playing is enabled, a card displays the currently playing track (off by default).

The dashboard is organized into tabs. Most settings are editable live, while some require a server restart to take effect. A setting that’s already pinned by a CLI flag, environment variable, or config.yaml shows as locked/disabled here — see Configuration reference for the precedence rules.

Users

Create/update/delete users, toggle their roles, regenerate an API key, and manage avatars.

Server

Every Server & Network related setting.
