RoonServer on QNAP Docker not recognizing spinning drive files (ref#AB1BHU)

Hi! What’s not quite right with Roon?

· Music won’t play or issues with my library

Music won’t play or issues with my library

· Local files won't import or appear

Tell us what's going on

· I've installed RoonServer on QNAP with Docker per the instructions. It shows the container as the host. The new server resides on my SSD PCI in the unit, my non-subscription library resides on spinning drives, but those files don't show up on the new server when I attempt to add the folder in storage. How can I get the server to see the files on the spinning drive?

The second share path line in the docker generator is pointing roon in the container to your music files. If something is wrong with either the syntax of the share path, or the name of the folder/volume, files cannot be accessed by roon in the container. If the top-level folders are correctly shared in QNAP´s file system, and volumes mounted correctly, just insert the name of the top-level folder in the share line path:

/share/Multimedia

which leads docker to redirect roon in the container to see the files, thanks to the following line generated:

/share/Multimedia:/Music

If you are uncertain about folders´ names, feel free to share a screenshot of File Station showing the main hierarchy of volumes and top-level folders.

my music files are stored in the file Sooloos. I don’t see where to make changes to the path in Container. Please advise.

Go to Github docker generator, and enter the following share structure as the second path (instead of the default /share/Music which is leading to nowhere in your case):

/share/Sooloos

So the final line in docker script on the right should read:
/share/Sooloos:/Music

You can also edit the script in Container Station and update the container. If the top-level folder /Sooloos is correctly mounted, this should do the job, and all your files should appear in roon under Settings > Storage > Music Folder - if you enable that one.
