I currently have my Roon core on my MacBook, but I have purchased an Intel NUC with ROCK running on it.
Is it just a case of connecting the NUC to the network with Ethernet cable and then going in to Roon on MacBook and changing the core location to NUC? How do I do that? And what do I do with Roon on the MacBook, does it automatically become a remote once the I’ve specified another core location?
Do I still use whatever version of Roon that’s on the MacBook to specify music folders? My music will remain on the laptop for a little while until I get a hard drive to connect to the NUC.
I also use Qobuz.
Do I need to make a backup and then restore it somehow on nuc (not sure how that works of it’s headless) to keep playlists, etc intact?
Is there anything I am missing or need to know make this an easy transition?
Thank you.
Nice one. Thanks.
It’s relatively simple and done they guide as suggested.
One thing to note. I was moving from a core on a Mac to an i7 NUC ROCK. I restored the Mac backup on NUC and then ROCK became unresponsive—and couldn’t use the Mac as a Roon remote either.
Tried a few times, same problem.
Only solution was to reset the ROCK to default settings, reinstall codecs and just forget about the database restore. It wasn’t a big deal because I only listen to local music and have ni playlists. But did lose all information I had made to metadata.
So one thing to be aware of…
That shouldn’t happen and is the whole point of the backup and restore, moving the roon library extant to the new server.
Yes exactly. But I guess this is where theory doesn’t necessarily meet practice.
Don’t know if they’ve broken something in the Core or the ROCK, but somewhere it’s broken.
