Synology DS918+ : Roon installed but how to configure it? No icon appears

Roon Software Discussion QNAP/Synology NAS
1

This is probably a noob question, but I am new to the world of NAS, so please bear with me!

I have installed Roon on my Synology DS918+ NAS using the guide here: https://blog.rieke.tv/roon-server-on-nas/

If I go to package center, it tells me Roon is running. However, if I go to the ‘main menu’ (the icon on the top left), I do not see any icons for Roon. So… how do I run and configure it on the NAS?

I had created the shared folder RoonServer before installing. Also, I have manually installed Plex, and I do see Plex in the main menu.

Thanks!

The log is the following:

There is no web interface on the Synology yet. So there is nothing to configure there.
Simply start Roon on a Windows/Mac or Android/iOS device and select “Connect to remote server” there. It should see RoonServer on your Synology and connect to it.

Mib-blowing lightbulb moment :slight_smile:

Maybe it might be useful to add one-line to the guide specifying this, as I didn’t find it mentioned anywhere.

Anyway, thanks and congratulations for your work on the installer!
