I just tried to install a server on my Syno DS 713+, which has latest DSM 6.1.1 update 2.
Everything goes well with packet center, except the server never starts…
I tried to start it with a terminal, the script start.sh tells errors and the other check.sh tells “failed” for alsa libraries.
I don’t see anything in the posts to help me, except that my DS is a little too short to install a server.
Also : I tried to install server manually with the package for linux, all goes well the server starts even if check.sh tells the same alsa libraries… But someone has written not to do like that because of the database created in a wrong place.
What happens if you start the package by terminal?
To start it you can enter (via ssh): sudo /var/packages/RoonServer/scripts/start-stop-status start
To stop it enter: sudo /var/packages/RoonServer/scripts/start-stop-status stop
Please keep in mind, that there will be no interface for RoonServer on the Synology itself. You need to access the server remotely with the Roon software on a computer or smartphone/tablet.
EDIT: One Addition: RoonServer won’t launch, by manually executing the start.sh script (that is part of the Linux RoonServer package). There are some environmental variables that need to be set first. Without it an error is normal and expected. Also the check.sh script will give you that error for the same reason. The reason the scripts are there, is that the NAS installer use the Linux RoonServer download for x64-systems. The installation process of the NAS packages download it during its installation process, to ensure to have the latest version of RoonServer. By doing that, the start.sh and check.sh scripts are of course also on the harddrive, but to start/stop RoonServer a special script is called (see above).
Hi,
I understand, but I just tried without success, same errors as before : see file for what happens.
No more server with Roon app on my mac than before (except when I start the package for linux, not the one installed with package center). I had to kill the script.
Any idea ? What did I wrong ?
When you start the new package via command line (with the start-stop-status script), does it output the same errors as before?
The weird thing about the error on your Synology is, that the path of the files is messed up (in the screenshot of the console output).
How is your volume1 initialized? (SHR?)
The output of ifconfig seemed normal. Can you also run the following ifconfig command. It is the exact command that it executed by the start-stop-status script, which returned no value (The line “MTU:” in the screenshot).
Maybe the path is messed because of the path modified in the file /etc/profile, since I installed ipkg, screen and other stuff.
The line has been changed to : PATH=/opt/bin:/opt/sbin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/syno/sbin:/usr/syno/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin
Before DSM 6.1.1 (and maybe 6, I don’t remember) after upgrade I always changed this line, and the same in /root/…profile.
But now this line no longer exists in this last file. That you see with the capture above…
I’m not an expert, just tried to use my syno with little tricks, at a time to have a minecraft server the way I wanted it.
Thanks for your help.
I have an idea for a different approach: Can you check if Docker is available for your Synology model and install it? Within Docker you can create an additional (clean) instance of the DSM (DockerDSM).
This new instance will get its own IP address for the DiskStationManager and is isolated from your original DSM.
I’d prefer to test RoonServer in the Docker instance, to see if the same errors occur there, before we are making changes to your main DSM-system.
ok. it was worth a try. I am currently assuming something messes up the PATH when starting RoonServer. But I am not perfectly sure what it is. As I am currently in Munich, I will send you more info on Monday (as I want to cross-check with my device at home)…
Ach by mail it doesn’t work, I should have known.
Here is what I sent you : Hi, Here is the file with the output of the second command. The first did not do anything the server was not launched. Still no files in the RoonServer directory. I had to kill the process. For me all this is sort of a chinese stuff…
_Thanks again. https://www.sfrcloud.sfr.fr/web/app/share/invite/vh0Zui3jPl
Hi @S_P
Thanks, I will take a look later. Can’t open it with my smartphone, so I’ll look at home.
The command was not supposed to make it work. But it will give a full log of every line of the start script. I hope to be able to find be out where the launch process is failing on your machine (and hopefully also why). I already realised that some variable of a directory was mangled. The question i am trying to figure out is why and in which line of the code. The error was given by a script that has been delivered by the official RoonServer install…
I looked at your provided textile and so far everything seems fine in the QNAP launch script.
So, I’d like to go one step further and log everything that is done by the scripts from the official RoonServer package.
To do that, you need to edit 2 files by entering (both commands are just 1 line! The line break appears here due to the length of the command):
sudo sed -i -e 's/#!\/bin\/bash/#!\/bin\/bash -x/g' /var/packages/RoonServer/target/RoonServer/start.sh
and
sudo sed -i -e 's/#!\/bin\/bash/#!\/bin\/bash -x/g' /var/packages/RoonServer/target/RoonServer/Server/RoonServer
Now run the commands from my previous post again and send me the output.
EDIT: I modified this post. Now you can simply copy/paste the 2 lines to the ssh window.
Hi, here is the file with the result after these commands.
At the end of the file I added the result of what is in my /var/packages/Mono directory, since it seems to me to be a problem from the beginning.
The file : https://www.sfrcloud.sfr.fr/web/app/share/invite/1hIwyMUoSY
I could reproduce this behaviour by creating a Mono directory in /var (Thanks @danny for pointing me to this!) and reported it.
The current version of RoonServer will launch successful if there is no Mono directory in /var or /var/packages/.
I installed the Synology Mono packet for my minecraft server, with mcmyadmin.
There is nothing for “ls /var/Mono” the folder does not exist.
I will uninstall the Mono packet, I hope my son and his cousin won’t ask for minecraft…
I keep you informed.
