I just signed up for a lifetime Roon sub, bought a Synology ds218+ and signed up with TIdal. My music library is about half a terabyte. I want to use the diskstation as a server, while running Roon core on my mini. The diskstation will serve a couple of macs, 3 iPads and 3 iPhones. I could use some setup tips before I get too far into this. Thanks.
Tip #1: turn on SMB file service in your Synology
Tip #2: turn on Windows File Sharing in the SMB File Sharing options on the Mac Mini (Sharing control panel)
Tip #3: mount your music folder, copy it’s loction from the Get Info box and paste it into the Add Network Share dialog in Roon Settings
Tip #4: connect everything else to the Roon Core running on your Mac Mini
That should do it. Hopefully your Mini is wired to the Synology.

Don’t forget to also create a scheduled Roon database backup that is stored somewhere on the NAS.
