Firewalld rule for Roon server

<protocol value="igmp"/>

Thanks, that seems to work! I have comments on how to use this in Roon forums.

Note that as of Roon Server build 880 the 2021 version of this rule stopped working; the Roon Remote controller for Android (and probably others) couldn't connect to Roon Server. I had to disable the Fedora Firewall (sudo systemctl stop firewalld). You have to allow new and different TCP ports in the Firewalld rule, maybe 9330-9339? The new version here works for me, but I don't have complicated multi-room, Sonos devices, etc.

This ruleset still works with a new installation of Roon Server on Fedora 37, but again I'm not using complicated multi-room, remote controls, the API, or ARC.

Adding port 55000/tcp will make ARC work:

<port protocol="tcp" port="55000"/>

Opening 32768-65535/udp appears to make Chromecast, Apple Airplay and Roon Ready devices like the Cambridge Audio CXN V2 work.

It looks like roon is also listening for mDNS traffic on UDP 5353. It might be worthwhile to enable that as well or enable the built-in firewalld mdns service:

firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=mdns

With the above ranges enabled I am able to connect to:
Cambridge Audio CXN V2 (Roon Ready)
Google Home Mini via Chromecast (Roon Tested)
Sonos via Sonos Streaming
Misc devices via both Chromecast streaming and AirPlay
