How can I setup the Roon to access my synology NAS?

[Jerry_Wu]

I have installed the Roon apk file in the package center. But now I can only access the server of “This PC” (as the upper one in the snapshot), while the NAS (linux 4.4.302+/192.168.3.33) cannot be accessed, which shows it’s ready.

So please help. Thanks!

A Roon on (Synology) NAS Primer Introduction Over the past couple of years that I have been participating in these forums, I’ve discovered that there might be a benefit to a comprehensive overview of what makes Roon on NAS an especially compelling way of running Roon. I’ve written a lot about this notion in several disconnected forum posts here over the years, but I’ve been thinking about putting it all together in one place for a while. I realize, however, that I don’t represent every sort of …

So when you press “Connect” on the second one, what happens?

a long wait like snapshot 1

and then informed me I have to unauthorize the original server. But another long wait after I clicked the ‘unauthorize’ button like snapshot 2

In the end, nothing change that I can only do everything above again but nothing happened again.

This is helpful and I am sure Roon Support can take it from here…

Hi @Jerry_Wu,

Let’s zoom out and confirm your intentions in adding a second RoonServer.

Are you trying to migrate your existing Roon database to a new machine? If so, please be sure to follow the steps in this guide, in addition to the Synology-specific steps shared above:

Moving Roon to a new Server

This will prevent overlapping database instances from interfering with controller and ARC connectivity.

Do you have a Backup of your current database? If so, fully remove the Roon database on the PC by deleting the RoonServer folder:

• Make sure the RoonServer instance on the Synology is online
• Exit out of RoonServer on the PC
• Navigate to your RoonServer’s Database Location on the PC
• Find the folder that says “RoonServer”
• Rename the “RoonServer” folder to “RoonServer_old” or delete it entirely
• Reinstall the Roon App from our Downloads Page on the PC
• Open Roon and press “Use another Roon Server” and connect to the NAS Server

Please let us know if this helps.
