Is Roon Server running?

· No, Roon Server is not running.

For Roon connectivity to work properly, both Roon Server and Roon Remote need to be turned on.

Hello @Radcliff_Fisher and welcome to the forum.

The Roon Server package no longer works on older DSM versions. Please update to a current DSM version or switch to the official Docker image to run Roon Server on your NAS. See also:

You can use the forum search to find answers to questions that arise when switching to the Docker installation as already some time has passed since the change so most of the questions have already been asked and answered since then.

Hello @giacom8, welcome to the community. It sounds like the Synology package is stopping right after the update, so the first thing to check is whether your DSM version is still supported for the package you were using.

For Synology, the current supported path is to run Roon Server with Docker, and the setup steps depend on your DSM version. Please take a look at Installing RoonServer on Synology with Docker and compare that against your NAS setup.

If you were previously running the older Synology package, please tell us which DSM version your DS218 is on and whether you want to stay on that DSM version or move to the Docker-based install. That will determine the right next step.
