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!

    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.xml file:

      <?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
