Overview

What is Gonic?

Gonic is a free music streaming server, an alternative to Subsonic servers, written in Go. Lightweight and performant — enough to run on a Raspberry Pi — it implements the Subsonic API, making it compatible with a wide range of client apps on Android, iOS, desktop, and browser.

Gonic allows you to browse your library by folders and tags, supports many formats (mp3, opus, flac, ape, m4a, wav…) and offers on-the-fly transcoding with cache, configurable per user. Each account has its own playlists, top tracks and artists, and podcast management is included.

It enhances the experience with artist similarities and biographies from the Last.fm API, and provides a web configuration interface (Last.fm, users, scan launches). A sober and sovereign solution to stream your own music, without relying on a streaming platform.

Host Gonic at DINAO

No managed container for Gonic: this application is installed on a VPS hosted in France (1 vCPU / 256 Mo / 1 Go minimum).

Gonic needs a level of access to the machine that the managed container, shared between several customers, does not give. Two VPS hosted in France: DINAO installs and manages it for you, or you administer it yourself.

Technical reason: bind mount of a host path (named volumes only in the managed offer).

Option 2 The simplest

Managed VPS with Docker and the application pre-installed

from €28,70 /month excl. VAT

Gonic installed by DINAO when you order
The machine is yours alone: the folders Gonic needs are created on it
System and Docker managed by DINAO, monitoring included
Priority support included (2-hour response time, DINAO business days and hours)
Stated, capped resources (2 vCPU, 2 GB, 20 GB): beyond that, a larger size is offered

VPS Docker

from €11,00 /month excl. VAT

Your virtual machine, full administrator access
Docker pre-installed, control panel of your choice

Frequently asked questions

You might be wondering…

About Gonic 6 questions

What is Gonic?

A free music streaming server, compatible with the Subsonic API, written in Go. It streams your personal music library to any Subsonic-compatible client app.

Which apps can I use it with?

All Subsonic apps: DSub, play:Sub, Symfonium, Substreamer and many others, on Android, iOS, and in browser or desktop.

Does Gonic transcode my music?

Yes, on the fly, with cache and transcoding preferences specific to each user — useful for saving bandwidth on mobile.

Where is my music stored?

On your DINAO instance hosted in France. Your library and listening history never pass through any third-party platform.

How do I upload my library?

You sync your files to your instance; Gonic then scans the library (by folders and tags). DINAO assists you with the initial setup.

Is this application tested before it is offered?

This application has not yet passed our automatic deployment test. It can still be installed, but we invite you to contact us before ordering: we will then test it as a priority. The deployment template used was last updated on 3 July 2026. Each new version released by the publisher triggers this test again: the date above therefore follows the version actually offered.
