How to Configure Roon Server (headless)

I’ve looked everywhere and can’t find any documentation on how to configure Roon Server to use / import music library. I have a headless Mac Mini and can run Roon itself using attached storage and importing my library successfully. However, if I switch over to the server — which is preferred, since I don’t want a GUI — it doesn’t use any of the same configuration and no longer shows up on my network. Am I missing something? Thanks.

Dylan, the Server version is setup via any other copy of Roon running - be it on a tablet, or any windows/OS X remote.

If you wanted to keep your original config, I believe you can rename the install folder ‘Roon’ to ‘RoonServer’, but it’s worth checking the KB for sure.
It’s easy to start over and re-import if you don’t have a lot setup already.

Hi Dylan,

Documentation for what you want to do is here.

Also, check out the new Roon User Guide.

Cheers, Greg
