Connecting to your server

Sonixd Redux supports two server types:

📷 Screenshot: Login screen

  1. Select your Server type (Subsonic or Jellyfin)
  2. Enter your Server URL - include http:// or https://, e.g. https://music.example.com
  3. Enter your Username and Password
  4. Click Connect

Subsonic users: if your server uses plaintext authentication (older setups), enable Legacy auth (plaintext) before connecting.

Self-signed certificate users: if your server uses a self-signed certificate that is not in your system trust store, enable Accept self-signed certificates before connecting. Read the self-signed certificates documentation for the security implications before doing so.

Once connected, Sonixd Redux loads your library and takes you to the dashboard.
