Roon on Ugreen NAS?

[Ralph]

I recently bought a Ugreen NASync DXP4800 Plus. Do you think it is possible to install roon on it? I read on different sources, that there is a Plex docker container working, but I would much prefer roon over Plex. And I’m not really familiar with the docker container functionality.

The processor will probably perform adequately, but I suspect you will have to run Roon server in a container. Whilst not supported, many users use this approach. I use a custom non-privileged Podman container.

This is a good start:

I got my UGREEN DXP2800 yesterday. My plan was to test it out and play around with it for some days or weeks and, if it should fit all my needs, replace my Synology DS720+ with it. I used the RoonOnNAS solution on the Diskstation and never had any need to deal with docker before.

Today I installed docker on the UGREEN and followed this walkthrough by @gTunes :

Walkthrough : Roon in a Docker container on Synology DSM 7

Hi, folks. Synology recently released a DSM upgrade which introduced compatibility problems with the Roon package a number of community members, including me, run. I’m using this opportunity to switch to running Roon in a Docker container. I put together this walkthrough to hopefully help anyone else considering going down the same path. This walkthrough utilizes the container image produced by @Steef_de_Bruijn, who I want to thank for his work. That work made this possible, and it’s sincerely…

Getting a docker image to work on a UGREEN NAS is quite similar to the described way for a Synology NAS. I moved my music-library to the UGREEN and the Roon server now works flawlessly. I am very glad about it.

Hi, @Andreas_Mueller.

I’m glad that walkthrough helped!

Synology introduced Container Manager a while back, which enables Docker Compose. I thought about writing an updated walkthrough but haven’t done so because I figured anyone who wants to use compose files can probably figure it out I’m glad this current version is still helpful!

Thanks @gTunes!
I installed Roon server in my DXP2800 and it’s been working great.
As @Andreas_Mueller mentioned, is a similar process for Ugreen’s products and thanks to that guide I was able to have it running in no time.

One thing to know that it does take about 6Gb or RAM. I had to upgrade my ram on my UGreen, other than that it runs like a champ

Hello,

I know it’s not the ideal way to run Roon, although does anyone know how to get usb dacs detected when using the docker image in the guide above.

I’ve enabled privilaged mode and it seems to work, just wondering if there is a command or something that needs adding for it too work?

Thanks
