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

Hi all,

I could not resist creating a little docker image doing exactly what most of us want (if I interpreted correctly - please correct me if I am wrong).

Docker image: steefdebruijn/docker-roonserver

It is too big to my liking (build on debian) because I had issues with alpine/glibc but it works for now. It is about the same size as @mikedickey version.

It uses docker volumes for the app, the data(base), the music and backups. The app volume is used to pull the RoonServer software from roonlabs on first run if this volume is empty. This is useful if you use a scheme of recreating application containers on every restart (as I do). Selfupdates from roonlabs should work as expected.

You can use this image as a drop-in replacement of the @mikedickey version if you like. Adjust startup parameters (volume mappings) to your liking.

Any comments welcome.
Steef
