Overview

What is Koel?

Koel is a free, open-source music streaming solution that transforms your personal audio file collection into an elegant web listening experience. Built on Laravel (PHP) on the server side and Vue on the interface side, it scans your local library (or an S3-compatible object storage) and makes it accessible from any browser.

The application manages standard and smart playlists, favorites, scrobbling, podcasts, and radio. It integrates with services like Last.fm, Spotify, and MusicBrainz to enrich metadata and album art. The multi-user mode allows multiple people to share the same media library while keeping their own playlists.

Distributed under the MIT license, Koel deploys easily in a container and remains lightweight : the load mainly comes from storing your files, which DINAO sizes according to the size of your library.

FAQ

You might be wondering…

What audio formats are supported?

Koel reads common formats (MP3, FLAC, AAC, OGG, M4A…). You import your files as-is ; they stay on your instance and are streamed to your browser.

Are my musical tastes analyzed for advertising purposes?

No. Your files and listening history remain private on your instance, hosted in France. No profiling or data resale, GDPR compliant.

Can I share my library with my family or team?

Yes. The Team and Enterprise tiers manage multiple user accounts with their own playlists and favorites, on the same library.

Do I need technical skills?

No for usage : the web interface is ready to use. DINAO handles installation, security, and Koel updates.

Can I change my plan or retrieve my files?

Yes. You can upgrade or downgrade at any time, and your music files remain exportable — no proprietary lock-in.
