Ubuntu Roon server install tips

If it still works after rebooting, then it is setup successfully.

That looks perfectly fine. Now, just to exercise how it is done, check the status of the running server as in my previous post…

[Sanjeeb_Rose]

Okay, so I rebooted the Ubuntu and its working now.

I went into settings to check Roon ARC and here is what I find. This was accessible earlier.

Should I add some firewall exclusions?

[SandsOfArrakis (The Spice Must Flow)]

I didn’t have to set the firewall here. But are the Core IP and Port still the same?

[Sanjeeb_Rose]

Thanks so much Martin, I appreciate you responding :). The guys pointed this out earlier and now I have managed to get it running again…with the caveat on ARC per my last post

[Andreas_Philipp1]

I can’t help you with ARC support, I haven’t set it up myself and don’t use it. But at least your screenshot seems to indicate that you were able to connect to your running Roon Core server from a Remote… So, the server installation was successful and all is ok on this front.

SO I clicked on the reset button for the port and its now working again …YAAY!

[SandsOfArrakis (The Spice Must Flow)]

Nice. That’s a different port number though. I wonder where that 5050 came from.

[Sanjeeb_Rose]

I had manually changed to 5050 a while ago, i suspect there was some kind of conflict. In any case, its now reset and working again . Thanks so much !!

Hi, newbie question
I have installed UBUNTU server and am having trouble with the roonserver installation.
When I get to:
sudo chmod +x roonserver-installer-linuxx64.sh
I get error: “cannot access ‘roonserver-installer-linuxx64.sh’ : no such file or directory”

downloading the easy installer seemed to go fine (curl -0 https://download.roonlabs.net/builds/roonserver-installer-linuxx64.sh)

What can I do?

[killdozer (Brutalise me with music)]

So it’s telling you it can’t find the file. If you type ls -alh and paste the output here I’ll take a look. Also try `find / -type f -name “roonserver-installer-linuxx64.sh”'. Again stick the output here and I’ll take a look.

@CoralRad

sudo chmod +x roonserver-installer-linuxx64.sh

I’d try sudo chmod +x ./roonserver-installer-linuxx64.sh

[killdozer (Brutalise me with music)]

And probably DOH from me, just got in from work travel and far from my sharpest.

Edit Tab completion takes uncertainty away and is faster to boot

Didn’t work same no such file or directory message

[Andreas_Philipp1]

In your posted directory listing there is no installation script. Therefore the error message.

You may have downloaded the script into another directory. You could just try the previous download step again and then post once more the directory listing to make sure the installation file is present.

Wasn’t there just recently a discussion about replacing curl through wget because of reasons (snap curl has no write access to most directories, is not allways available) in the actual installer? Can it be that the very same reasons make the installation attempt for the installer script go poof? Does the installation document need an actualization? I think it doesn’t make sense to replace curl, which may not even be available on all installations, through wget in the actuall installer and then leave curl in the install document.

As a test:

wget -O roonserver-installer-linuxx64.sh https://download.roonlabs.net/builds/roonserver-installer-linuxx64.sh

Does this command to download the installer work (or show a reason why it fails)?

[CoralRad]

Thanks, tried again:

Results were different but still unsuccessful

[killdozer (Brutalise me with music)]

Perhaps the script contains curl commands, so same problem. These could be replaced with wget as well.

Edit Indeed it does, but just the one instance.
