Arch Linux User Repository

The backup line should be backup=('etc/navidrome/navidrome.toml')

The problem is that there's a Byte Order Mark set on the config file, and Navidrome (or whatever it uses to parse that file) doesn't like it.

If you open the config file in vim you can just :set nobomb and it fixes it. Or just make a new file and copy-paste (don't use cat >).

@adam900710 I'm having the same issue, did you find any solution?

Latest bin can not start, fails with invalid toml?

FATAL: Navidrome could not open config file:  While parsing config: toml: invalid character at start of key: ï

And that's after I removed all the comments, with just MusicFolder and DataFolder.

@lostpolaris @deluan

Please can you add a complete template for navidrome.toml ?

Also would be nice to have etc/navidrome/navidrome.toml under backup entries

I prepared one like this below (taken from official navidrome doc)

For 'navidrome.service' and 'navidrome.toml' you can simply using source=('navidrome.service' 'navidrome.toml') once, without using source_$CARCH=() for every $CARCH

Please add sysusers.conf into the package, or users will need to manually setup the navidrome user. And navidrome-git package already has already done it properly.
