Hi there, im trying to get Roon to work over tailscale from inside of a Docker Container, but it doesn't work, outside my network, although it joins my tailscale account just fine.

 

Has anybody done this, and can tell me how this might work.

 

I have it working over zeriotier, but would prefer to move everything to tailscale

Can you please share a bit more information on how you configured everything?

I'm not quite familiar with Roon but I try as best as I can...

Sure will grab some screenshots from the docker container 

Sorry its taken me a while to come back round to this.

 

Having done some digging, im not sure it will work with tailscale. found a post that said the following

 

"I don’t think that would work either. Roon device discovery uses IP multicast, which does not traverse the Tailscale VPN (there’s extensive discussion of this on other Tailscale threads). Roon ARC connects to the Roon server via a specified IP address, and traffic then flows over Tailscale. But the standard Roon app, designed for the local network, relies on Roon’s multicast discovery, and so it can’t find the Roon server when it is away from the local network where the server resides."

Yes, if it's using Multicast I also don't think that it's working and it also makes sense if you connect via IP because that's what it's designed for.
