I am a huge fan of power saving and I have already managed the WOL setting so I can turn it on from home (easy) and outside home (not that easy, but done)
Next Move : turn it off when not using it outside my network. To do this I think the best is to access ROCK local page and simply turn it down.
Is there any user able to help me with configuration of port forwarding with the router?
I have fixed internal IP local and I have fixed public IP but I have not success for allowing outside access
To shutting down ROCK when stop using it being out of my local network (it means using ARC as playerxor course)

I can manage to turn it on from outside my network (by WOL) but the only option I manage for shutting down is by a port forwarding rule.
Just keep in mind, that when you turn ON RoonServer it will go through maintenance which includes a full re-scan of your library. Not a big deal if you don’t have a large local library, but, if you do then it might cause playback issues maintenance is done.
I turn my NUC/ROCK every night (more often if we get scheduled power cuts) , it takes about 2 mins to load , I always assumed that was loading the library into RAM. (around 140k tracks - sounds right)
It doesn’t as far as I am aware rescan anything , its up and running far too quickly for that and the “Red Circle - I am loading” doesn’t show Top RHS
Whilst I don’t like it, it is shut down by pulling the plug , and restarted on “Auto Restart on mains return” within the NUC BIOS.
It’s not entirely straightforward if you haven’t done it before. You’d need to open the SSH port on the router and run an SSH server. The NAS may be able to do this, if you keep it up to date with security updates. Else a Linux server. To make it secure, you’d have to configure SSH to allow log-ins only with public key-based authentication (using public and private key pairs).
“Easy” if you are used to it, but takes some reading if you have no idea. Maybe @RPM has a recipe, as he brought it up
? Thank you in advance
