Deploying roon server in proxmox environment

Roon Software Discussion Linux
1

Hello everybody. I’m totally new to Roon, but not neceserily in IT.

Currently I have Roon installed on my Macbook M1 and it runs perfectly good, but there is one drawback - I have to have my notebook on each time I would like to listen any music and I’d like to play the music from mobile devices as well. I’ve got Proxmox VE in my basement where I have pfSense router and some smaller linux hosts for different tasks. The host is i5-8600T based machine with 32 gigs of RAM and M.2 drive for VMs. Got some questions:

  1. What resourcers should I assign to VM which will host Roon Server in terms of CPU Cores, RAM, and disk space - I will use Tidal as a source and EverSolo DMP-A8 as output device
  2. Should I run docker container (I’ve seen them here on forum), or install the server directly on Linux host? I use Debian distros, sometimes Ubuntu if I must strongly preferring pure Debian.
  3. How do I install it if I wanted to do it directly on linux host? Should I just run roonserver-installer-linuxx64.sh on clear system? Is it compatible with Debian 12?

Do I need to take any other aspects and issues under consideration? Any remarks and suggestions are much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Krzysztof

Unprivileged deb container, 2 cores, 2-4 G ram, 8 G disk. Roon with the std installer. You can change ram and cores dynamically (without restart).
