I’m trying to get Roon running remotely on my Linux computer. My core is a NUC ROCK, which works very well serving my Sonore OpticalRendu network player and my Windows 10 computers. My main source of music is Tidal.
I have a second NUC. That NUC is connected by wi-fi to my router/network. Both Windows 10 and Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS are installed on it. On the Windows side Roon functions as it should. I get great sound on my computer speakers. I would like to have the same experience when I boot into Ubuntu.
I may be confused, but I gather that to make that happen I need to install Roon Bridge on the Linux computer, and that should give me a new zone that represents the computer to play music on. Am I right?
After I used the easy install method to install Roon Bridge on Ubuntu no such zone shows up on any Roon remote (iPhone, iPad, Both Apple and Windows laptops and Windows desktops). The Bridge log in var/roon/RoonBridge/Logs folder shows that it starts up, is stable and updated etc.

What am I missing?
There is also a RAATserver folder in the var/roon folder. Should that be there? If not could that be the issue. I wonder because weeks ago I ran the easy roon server install script on the machine. I then uninstalled the server and decided to run the core on the dedicated NUC. Is the RAATserver folder a left over artefact that did not get uninstalled?
The RAATserver log shows that is has started on the duel booting NUC that it is installed on and the audio devices on that machine. There is no indication that it has connected to the core that I can see.
