For Roon connectivity to work properly, both Roon Server and Roon Remote need to be turned on.
· I can't turn on Roon Server, I need help.
Describe the issue
Bonjour, L'application Roon Serveur pour QNAP est bloquée sur "Stopped" et je ne peux pas accéder à ma musique stockée sur mon NAS QNAP. Quand j'indique le chemin de mon répertoire de musique il n'est pas pris en compte. J'ai essayé de configurer un programme avec Container Station mais sans plus de succès. Je suis complètement perdu. Si vous pouviez prendre la main sur mon ordinateur et trouver une solution je serais ravi. Cordialement, Bernard DUBA
It seems unlikely that your existing music library is located in /share/Container, something along the lines of /share/Qmultimedia/... or simply /Qmultimedia/... seems more likely to me. Please also note that folder and filenames are case sensitive.
Thanks for the screenshot. To narrow this down, could you please share a few more screenshots of the QNAP media files location, so we can see the full path clearly?
It also sounds like the folder path you entered may not match the actual location on the NAS. Once we can see the media location in context, we can check whether the path is pointing to the right directory. Please send those screenshots when you can.
J’utilise ROON depuis de nombreuses années et, subitement, l’application ROON Server sur le NAS ne fonctionne plus. Status :Stopped et impossible de la faire remarcher. Entre-temps j’ai programmé un roon serveur sur Container Station. J’arrive à faire afficher la page de connexion à ROON avec le bon IP, mais, en cliquant sur connexion rien ne se passe.
The native Roon Server application for QNAP has been deprecated and will no longer start. To restore your service, you must migrate to the official Roon Docker container using QNAP Container Station.
Please perform the following steps to get back online. Here’s a guide.
To summarize:
Install Container Station: Ensure you have the Container Station app installed from the QNAP App Center.
Deploy the Docker Image: Follow the official Roon guide to set up the Roon Server Docker image.
Disable the Old App: Go to your QNAP App Center and manually Stop or Disable the old Roon Server app to prevent it from interfering with the new setup.
Select New Server: Once the Docker container is running, open your Roon Remote app and click “Select a different Roon Server.”
Authorize: Choose the new server instance and log in. You will need to “unauthorize” the previous native QNAP installation to move your license to the new Docker core.
Thanks for your help. I followed your instructions and things are getting better. The Roon Remote on my computer, iPhone and iPad are working again. My Qobuz streaming provider is OK allso.
But I have no access to my Music Folder, no access to my Live Radio, and no access to the RoonBackups. All the concerned folders on the new Roon Server are empty. I think that there is something more I should do to get it going correctly.
Thanks for the update and info! When migrating from the native app to Docker, the music folder path inside the container often doesn’t automatically carry over because Docker needs the host path explicitly mapped via a volume mount in the docker-compose.yml.
If your compose file didn’t include a volume binding like:
volumes:
- /share/Qmultimedia:/music
Then the container simply couldn’t see that directory, even though the files were untouched on the NAS.
What you could do to solve it properly (rather than just the workaround):
Open your docker-compose.yml in Container Station and check the volumes: section under the Roon service.
Add a line mapping your music folder from the NAS host path to a path inside the container, e.g. /share/Qmultimedia/Bibliothèque CD FLAC:/music.
Redeploy the container, then in Roon's Storage settings add /music as the watched folder.
Of course it helped. I did, as you told me to do, and it finally worked fine. Thanks a lot. Below I send you the screen shot of my new setup. Best regards. Bernard
