You are right, it is a Nucleus. So if it is a Nucleus the entries in the activity monitor must be with two entries.
But how do i configure the nucleus; or is it not necessary.
A Mac Mini or any Mac is not a Nucleus.
Probably not running ROCK on either Mac
If you can’t find the Nucleus Web Administration Interface, mentioned in @andybob’s post, that’s why and you’ll still have a problem with finding a Roon device.
little bit confused: i did download the Roonserver app from the website; started the app by double clicking. downloaded roon on the other mac and did start the app. it asked to which server i do want to be connected; i did select the „macmini“. music is running smothly; just perfect sound. Just one small point open: ipad -> HugoTT2 with USB usb cable. if the ipad goes to sleep and started again the ipad is gone in the audio selection.
1, Roon Core is on your Mini.
2. You are using another MAC as an endpoint and an iPad as an endpoint.
3. Either the MAC or your iPad or both are being used for Remote.
i think my question is solved i other support case; there was the problem with iphone as the endpoint:

To start with, Roon must be running in the foreground on your iPhone to be detected.
Once you get it going, it will remain available as long as it’s in the foreground OR if music is playing. If you exit (even if running in the background) or the queue runs out, the endpoint will “disappear” (which is quite irritating, BTW).

Phones Android or Apple are hidden by default. Go into device settings and turn off private zone.
It sounds like you had most of your questions answered by @xxx & @Rugby (thanks for jumping in guys), but I do want to clarify one misconception I saw in the thread that Slim was trying to clarify:
You are currently running on a Mac Mini Server, which is neither ROCK nor Nucleus, as they are 3 distinct types of Roon setups. In this case, you have a RoonServer setup and you are not expected to find anything under the Configure Roon OS devices as those are reserved for ROCK and Nucleus.
I would also suggest checking out our Knowledge Base, as it’s a great resource for users who are just getting started with Roon and can help guide you to some of the powerful (maybe a bit hidden) features of Roon: https://kb.roonlabs.com/Roon_User_Guide
