I’ve been trying to follow documentation on the Roon website to get a roon server set up on a fresh endeavourOS install. I’m getting confused by various forum threads I’ve come across. Has anyone in this community successfully gotten roon server working on Linux? I’d really appreciate any concrete guidance as to how you got it set up.
I understand that there’s no gui and that I’ll have to connect to the server with the android app from my phone, but I can’t tell that the service is running and when I search for the server from my phone, nothing appears.
Thanks!
I use the docker container provided by:
steefdebruijn/docker-roonserver
Haven’t had an issue yet. But this is running on Ubuntu. Also verify your firewall rules are allowing inbound connections on the correct ports.
I was able to get the server set up and it looks like it’s running on my machine. I can see it in the android app, but the app seems to be stuck in the “connecting…” Status. Looks like the ports are opened appropriately. Have you had to work through any similar issue with your setup?
Do you have multiple VLANs? Do you have a firewall enabled on the machine? If your laptop and phone are in the same subnet and VLAN (hopefully, if not something is very wrong) then the server and client poth broadcast on a specific port (can’t remember right now). They should see this. If not you’ve got a firewall problem. That’s my best guess.
Was able to get it working with the following
sudo systemctl start roonserver
sudo systemctl enable roonserver
sudo mkdir -p /etc/firewalld/services/
sudo nano /etc/firewalld/services/roonserver.xml
Add the following content to the
roonserver.xmlfile:<?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“utf-8”?> <service> <short>Roon Server</short> <description>Roon Server ports</description> <port protocol=“tcp” port=“9100-9200”/> <port protocol=“tcp” port=“9330-9339”/> <port protocol=“tcp” port=“30000-30010”/> <port protocol=“tcp” port=“55000”/> <port protocol=“udp” port=“9003”/> </service>
sudo firewall-cmd --reload
sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-service=roonserver --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --reload
