Hi, I am using the QNAP TBS 464 NAS to run the Roon service. The new minimum system requirements are currently not supported by the current QNAP QTS firmware version 5.2.9.3410. LDD version on QTS is (GNU libc) 2.21 while the new Roon version required 2.27!

@Stephen QNAP was my preferred choice because it is fanless. I don’t have a basement for a noisy NAS, and Roon Nucleus is not available in my country. My QNAP is my Roon server (core), and all my music ripped and downloaded is stored on it. This is why I’m anxious about the latest developments on ne…

[image] mjw: I am reiterating what Roon has already said, and what you can read for yourself in this forum I really appreciate your engagement to support Roon users, it‘s good to have experts like you available who spend their time helping out. Can you please direct me to the related stateme…

Hi @Andreas_Scheunemann , Check out this pinned official topic from Roon …. It was also linked to in the 2nd post of this topic. [image] Important: Roon Minimum System Requirements Are Changing on April 20, 2026 Roon Software Discussion On April 20, 2026, we’l…

It seems the TBS-464 can run QuTS hero 5.2.9 which I believe is using the later libc. If that is the case you could you upgrade your NAS’ OS? It will of course mean tearing down your RAID, resetting the NAS from scratch and then setting everything back up in this case. As an aside, that NAS does …

This seems akin to tearing down and rebuilding your house because you found a leaking faucet. I suspect moving to a Docker-based installation of Roon will be a non-event for most people. Maybe 15 minutes of work, and very low risk. Copying everything off of your NAS, installing a new operating syst…

@Stephen Thank you. Hope all is going to work fine without problems.

This is not a very good idea. QuTS on the TS464 is very, very marginal in terms of performance and it’s really for enterprise power users which this chap definitely isn’t. The memory on the TS-464 is not officially upgradable, but it actually is :wink: The Docker image really is the way forward -…

[image] Stephen: Also, I think we might have a much better option/solution for those on QNAP. Please stay tuned, but we are hoping to have some more details soon. That’s good to hear.
