Personally, I’m sick to death of having to reinstall my Roon ROCK and get it working again, and have an update from Roon kill my perfectly working system. 3 times this past month. I’ve had to reinstall my ROCK server after Roon did another of their flakey updates. This is absolutely annoying and kills any joy I get from using this product. I have a lifetime membership, but I’m now very wary of recommending Roon to any of my friends. If I with a PhD in computer science and 35 years of research experience have such a hard time getting Roon to work reliably, imagine my poor non-tech friends.
I recommend every software developer at Roon buy a copy of Site Reliability Engineering by the folks at Google on how to design reliable software. Yes, Google has outages too, one recently, but nowhere near the frequency of Roon.
Ok, back to reinstalling my Rock server yet again (teeth gnashing!).
