How to install server software

[Snoopy8]

Hi all,
Looking to convert my Snakeoil machine to server only (have bought separate renderer). Was thinking to try MinimServer, Roon and JRiver...or other suggestions.

Is there anything that can be installed via the System tab? ...without need to ssh. 

Otherwise any tips or links would be appreciated. In the first instance, I thought to use my Pi4 Snakeoil machine but I'll later rebuild my i7 server. If complicated, I probably should wait until that build is done.

Thanks,
JD

Make a small donation and you can then activate all the available servers and players. You will also get access to 1.2 Alpha which runs on Ubuntu 20.04.  JRiver runs on 20.04.

MinimServer is installed as a Starter edition with limited functionality and there is a 1 month trial available. It is an excellent UPnP server with lots of rich functionality including convolution room correction.

JRiver can also act as a UPnP server and may be a better choice than MinimServer if you do not need the advanced features.

Upmpdcli is a UPnP renderer (player) and is essentially a UPnP wrapper around Mpd.

Roon is liked by many people, but the Roon server needs grunt and SSDs.  However, I did not find enough value.
