Docker images for Roon [Please Note: Using Dockers and VMs isn't supported by Roon]

I’ve not taken over your Dockerfile because you’ve done exactly what I would have done.

However, I’m now seeing that both you and I were wrong in that strategy, since now there is a RoonServer baked into the image sitting on the docker.

This has 2 issues:

  1. docker hub (and by proxy, you) are redistributing RoonServer, which is not good nor is it allowed by our terms.
  2. it means that things can go stale on the hub.

For example, the QNAP qpkg grabs the latest RoonServer upon install of the qpkg, which avoids both issues above.

I can look into taking this over, but I can’t do it immediately… It’d help a lot if you moved your Dockerfile ADD/RUN commands to a script at CMD time and either started installed RoonServer or ran RoonServer’s start.sh if it was already installed.
