QNAP mapped to /Music inside Container - how to do that?

Please help. I need to install my Roon Server on NAS (QNAP) again with using “Container”. But Roon doesn’t see my music on disc NAS. I found I need that: “Confirm that the QNAP host folder exists and is mapped to /Music inside the container. In Roon, use the container path, not the QNAP host path”.

But how can I do that? Help, please.

i would also like to know this, i dont seem to have a backup and the instructions are not clear

Did you follow this guide?

The part about the folder mapping is explained and assisted in part 3 in this manual in the roonserver docker configuration tool:

yes and cannot see any music from the folders

Sorry, but I don’t understand. I did everything and I am at the end, at that point: The music folder is missing - Confirm that the QNAP host folder exists and is mapped to /Music inside the container. In Roon, use the container path, not the QNAP host path.

What does it mean? Whas should I do?

Could you share a screenshot of the folder structure in File Station, pointing to the local folder where your music files reside pls?

Also note that the folder / path names are case sensitive.

In my case I had to map /share/music (as I created my music share years ago without capitals)

If you have used the standard QNAP folder names back then, it should be something like

/share/Multimedia

but a screenshot of File Station would give clarification

The folders for container and backups are clear:

/share/Container/roon

and

/share/Container/roon-backups

I hope the volume DataVol1 on NAS4710DF is an SSD volume?

For the music path, try:

/share/Public/Music

Good luck!

no Dev1/partition was the ssd for roon. the main nas drives are datavol1

Then choose another main folder for /roon, other than /Container on that one, as /Container seems to be on a spinning disc, not recommended for running the Container with roon´s internal database.

What is the name of the main folder in Dev1, could you show that one pls?

also try the path where, as in the app there is no share path

Is /RoonOnNAS the only folder under that Dev1Partition? I would not recommend to use it, as it contains older database remnants.

Choose another folder under Dev1Partition1, or create a new one, like /RoonContainer

Ideally, I would recommend to have the whole /Container path on the SSD, but that might only be possible when starting up Container Station for the first time.

in my case i have this

and its mapped as follows

volumes:
  - /share/ContainerFast/RoonDocker:/Roon
  - /share/Multimedia/Music:/music
  - /share/RoonBackup:/RoonBackups

Multimedia/Music is where my all music files reside on the NAS

in Roon I then can enable my folders within my music folder in the storage settings:

i have added rooncontainer, but i still dont see how i connect the music folder to the container app

Try exactly this setting in the docker generator:

Your existing folder /Public/Music (with the music files) will be shared with the container, and roon in the container sees that as /Music within the container
