· The Roon technical support was a question and answer selection which I did not fully understand. I have adopted another route using ethernet connectivity rather than Wi Fi and Roon finds the endpoint which plays TIDAL. It does not however play my stored music which is under data Vol 2 and the container running roonserver (under data vol 1) does not include this folder. How do I enable roonserver in container Vol 1 to access Roonmusic from Vol 2. I don’t want to play around with the possibility of creating a problem! Simple steps to enable this would be much appreciated thanks

Have you edited Settings → Storage to remove the original locations and added /Music (which is the container folder mapped to the library location on your NAS)?
You will have to forgive me if I cannot answer your question as I am not a particularly literate IT person. In terms of storage within the Roon app there is a file called music but this is empty and probably refers to the old Roonserver contained on my QNAP HS 453 nas. It does state that files on this are unobtainable and to determine the correct protocol to find the Roon music held within data volume 2 outwith the container so as to add to the app is beyond me and that is why I am seeking comprehensive steps in how to do this
I don’t know how to find the YAMl file now it’s been discarded after the initial setup of the container. I am a 79 year old now completely out of my comfort zone. Screenshots of my Roon app shown below
Okay, so the path to your Roonmusic folder is /share/CACHEDEV2_DATA/Roonmusic. This needs to be added to your Docker configuration, and the container rebuilt.
So, change the entry:
/Music
Your primary music library.
/share/Music
To
/Music
Your primary music library.
/share/CACHEDEV2_DATA/Roonmusic
Once you have change the configuration, use the compose file at the bottom of the page to recreate the container. While you’re doing this keep a copy of the file, so you can share it if you run into difficulties.
@mjw ´s advice is the right way to solve this. Two remarks:
As the top-level folder /RoonMusic seems to be correctly mounted under /DataVol2, you can go the easy way (without using the system-level name of your Volume) and point the second container path to:
/share/RoonMusic
I strongly recommend to remove the subfolder /RoonOnNAS from this folder. It probably contains plenty of folders and files from your previous Roon installation, which might confuse and slow down scanning of your music folders in future.
Open Container Station, click >Applications, mark the container running roon, and press +Recreate. The YAML script is opening and you can edit it (update afterwards).
Thank you for the information. I have updated the file designation as per the attached screenshot but I cannot see the compose file at the bottom of the page. I have clicked on docker-compose but this makes no difference and after checking Roon still hasn’t found the update. Where exactly is the compose file button>
