* perf(db): keep query planner statistics trustworthy with full ANALYZE PRAGMA optimize's internal ANALYZE runs with a limited analysis budget (~2000 rows) that writes wrong sqlite_stat1 entries for low-cardinality indexes: on a 96K-track library it claimed (missing, library_id) narrows to ~2000 rows when it matches the whole table. The planner then prefers that index over the sort index and falls back to a full-table temp B-tree sort per request, turning paginated song listings into multi-second queries (reproduced at 5.5s on real hardware; ~90x slower than with correct stats). Every index-creating migration re-triggered the poisoning via the post-migration optimize, and the daily optimizer could re-trigger it on large library changes. Setting analysis_limit on the connection does not help: optimize ignores it. Run a plain full ANALYZE instead: after migrations with schema changes, and in db.Optimize (daily schedule and scan-end). Stats are stored in the database file, so one connection suffices and the per-connection pool loop is gone. The Optimize call at shutdown is removed: stats are maintained at migration/scan/daily points, and an ANALYZE during shutdown only delays it and races container stop timeouts. * perf(db): drop startup PRAGMA optimize that re-poisons planner stats The startup PRAGMA optimize=0x10002 runs SQLite's budget-limited internal ANALYZE (bit 0x02), which writes truncated sqlite_stat1 rows for low-cardinality indexes -- the exact statistics-poisoning this PR set out to eliminate. Because DevOptimizeDB defaults to true, a restart with no pending migrations would re-poison the planner until the next scan or daily Optimize. Remove it: statistics are already refreshed with a full ANALYZE after schema-changing migrations (Init) and via Optimize at scan-end and on the daily schedule, so nothing on the startup path needs to touch them. Also clarify that Optimize is a no-op unless DevOptimizeDB is enabled. * chore(db): remove the DevOptimizeDB flag and skip Optimize on quick scans The flag only gated the optimize/ANALYZE maintenance calls and there is no reason to leave planner statistics unmaintained; the guards are gone along with the flag. The scan-end Optimize now runs only after full scans — quick scans barely move the statistics, and the daily schedule covers drift. * style(scanner): drop redundant comment in runOptimize * chore(persistence): drop the no-op PRAGMA optimize from ScanEnd Mask 0x10000 only selects candidate tables by size change; without the 0x02 action bit optimize does nothing (verified: sqlite_stat1 stays stale after a 100x table growth). The scan-end statistics refresh is db.Optimize's full ANALYZE, and the expression-collation-index concern the old comment guarded against no longer applies. * fix(scanner): run the post-scan ANALYZE in the server process With the external scanner (the default), the scan pipeline runs in a subprocess, so its ANALYZE was invisible to the server: SQLite loads sqlite_stat1 into the process's shared schema cache, and an ANALYZE from another process does not refresh it — verified with the production DSN that even brand-new pool connections keep planning with the old statistics until the server restarts. An in-process ANALYZE, by contrast, is immediately visible to every pooled connection through the same shared cache. Move the full-scan Optimize from the scanner pipeline to the scan controller, which always runs in the server process. * fix(scanner): honor promoted full scans in the optimize gate A quick scan resuming an interrupted full scan is promoted inside the scanner (possibly in a subprocess); mirror the promotion in the controller so the post-scan ANALYZE isn't skipped. * refactor: apply cleanup review findings - drop forceFullRescan's inline ANALYZE: Init already runs a full ANALYZE after any migration batch with schema changes, so upgrades including a full-rescan migration analyzed the whole DB twice - resumingFullScan uses a filtered CountAll instead of fetching and scanning all libraries - document why CallScan (CLI) deliberately skips the post-scan Optimize * perf(db): make planner analysis maintenance resilient Check analysis freshness every 30 minutes and refresh statistics when the last successful run is over 24 hours old or a scan marked them pending. Persist successful analysis state, retry skipped or failed maintenance, coordinate checks with scans, and cover standalone CLI full scans. * perf(db): avoid analyzing routine quick-scan changes Reserve pending analysis for full scans, unscanned libraries, and retry state. Incremental quick scans now rely on the 24-hour freshness window instead of triggering a full ANALYZE at the next maintenance check. * fix(scan): analyze resumed full scans in CLI * fix(db): back off failed analysis retries * feat(db): allow disabling scheduled analysis * test(db): remove redundant analysis coverage * refactor(db): split ANALYZE maintenance into optimize.go and dedupe call sites - move query-planner statistics code from db.go to its own optimize.go (and matching optimize_test.go) - log ANALYZE elapsed time inside Optimize/OptimizeIfNeeded instead of repeating the timing block at every call site - drop the LastDBAnalyzeAttemptAt write on success: it is only read while failures >= 1, and every failure rewrites it first - extract runPostScanAnalysis (cmd) and anyIncludedLibrary (scanner) helpers
Navidrome Music Server 
Navidrome is an open source web-based music collection server and streamer. It gives you freedom to listen to your music collection from any browser or mobile device. It's like your personal Spotify!
Note: The master branch may be in an unstable or even broken state during development.
Please use releases instead of
the master branch in order to get a stable set of binaries.
Check out our Live Demo!
Any feedback is welcome! If you need/want a new feature, find a bug or think of any way to improve Navidrome, please file a GitHub issue or join the discussion in our Subreddit.
