@mackid1993 when the Roon app shows a server update, we should ignore that correct? And only run the version you put out? Or does this allow us to use the update function inside Roon app?

So i decided to hunker down and try it, since not much to break So thought i'd share in case someone else wonders about this. Used Grok and the steps went pefect. Minimserver is up and running and JPlay recognized it and all my music is threre now. Only addition was once i launched the GUI, i had to type the path to music in the field (that was created when adding the container) "/music" Yes, you can install MinimServer (a UPnP/DLNA music server) on Unraid using the official Docker image minimworld/minimserver. This is the current official one from the MinimServer project itself (as of 2026). It's not in Community Applications (CA) as a pre-made template (based on current info—no dedicated CA entry shows up), so you'll do a manual "Add Container" in the Unraid GUI. That's the easiest and most Unraid-friendly way. Step 1: Pull the image (optional but recommended)Open the Unraid web terminal (top-right dropdown → >_ icon) or SSH in, then run: Bash docker pull minimworld/minimserver:latest:latest is usually fine and pulls the most recent stable version. You can also use a specific tag like :2.2 if you want (check Docker Hub tags for options). This downloads ~250 MB. You can skip this if you prefer—the GUI will pull it automatically when you create the container. Step 2: Add the container via Unraid Docker tabGo to the Docker tab in Unraid GUI. Click Add Container (bottom of the page). Fill in these fields (most important ones first): Field Recommended Setting Notes Name minimserver (or whatever you like, e.g. minimserver-music) Just a friendly name Repository minimworld/minimserver:latest This is the key—exact image name Network Type Host Strongly recommended for UPnP/DLNA discovery (SSDP on port 1900/udp works best this way). Bridge can work but often causes discovery issues on LAN. Privileged Leave off (unless you have special needs) Usually not needed Console shell command /bin/sh (default is fine) - Required Paths (Add these under "Add another Path" section)MinimServer needs persistent storage for: Its configuration Music library index/cache Logs (optional) Typical mappings (adjust to your shares): Container Path:/configHost Path:/mnt/user/appdata/minimserver/config (create this folder first if it doesn't exist) Access Mode: Read/Write Container Path:/musicHost Path:/mnt/user/Music (or wherever your music library lives—can be multiple if you add more) Access Mode: Read Only (or Read/Write if you let MinimServer write tags) Optional extra: Container Path:/opt/minimserver/data (or similar—if docs mention it) → map to another appdata subfolder Ports (only needed if NOT using Host network)If you chose Bridge network instead of Host (not recommended for MinimServer): Add these port mappings: Container Port: 9790 → Host Port: 9790 (TCP) – web UI Container Port: 9791 → Host Port: 9791 (TCP) – another MinimServer service Container Port: 1900 → Host Port: 1900 (UDP) – SSDP/UPnP discovery But again → use Host network to avoid most networking headaches. Other fieldsExtra Parameters — usually nothing needed, but if you run into Java options or timezone, you can add -e TZ=America/New_York (change to your timezone). Leave most other fields default. Click Apply → Unraid will pull the image (if not already pulled) and create/start the container. Step 3: Initial setup of MinimServerAfter it starts (give it 30–60 seconds), open a browser: Go to http://YOUR_UNRAID_IP:9790 (e.g. http://192.168.1.77:9790) You should see the MinimServer web interface. Accept the license if it's a first run. Point it to your /music folder (it should already see it via the volume mapping). Click Properties → set library paths if needed → Rescan or Update index. Once indexed, your DLNA/UPnP renderers (e.g. receivers, smart TVs, BubbleUPnP app, etc.) should discover it on the network. Quick Tips / TroubleshootingNot discovered on network? → Confirm Host network type. Restart container/router if needed. Check Unraid firewall isn't blocking (rare). Web UI not loading? → Check container logs (click icon → Logs) for errors. Make sure port 9790 isn't conflicting. Permissions issues? → Folders in /mnt/user/appdata/minimserver should be owned by nobody:users (Unraid default). Run chmod -R a=,a+rX,u+w,g+w /mnt/user/appdata/minimserver or use newperms tool if files get created as root. Want auto-start? → In Docker tab, toggle the slider next to the container name. Updates? → In future, just click Check for Updates on Docker tab, or re-pull via terminal and recreate container (or use Watchtower container for auto-updates).

Hi Team, I was wanting to install a upnp music files server on my NAS and Minimserver is the highest recommended one when using JPlay and other players. It provides the best metadata for music files, etc. It's not in the Community application in Unraid Apps, so curious if anyone has installed it manually. It's supposed to support Docker. I'm fairly new to Unraid and Docker so wasn't sure how to install Docker containers correctly without using the Unraid Apps section/GUI. https://hub.docker.com/r/minimworld/minimserver
