EarlyAccess: RoonServer Docker Image feedback

Early Access
vova (vova) 67

Hey guys, we are delaying the release, and we also need your help and feedback, please read this post. Thanks

UPD, I will actually add the post here for simplicity:

====================

Hi everyone,

Quick update on 2.65: the release itself is ready, but we’re going to hold it for another week.

2.65 raises the system requirements, which means some hardware won’t be able to run Roon natively anymore. For those users, Docker is the path forward - and while the image works, it’s new, and we want it to get more reliable before we ship 2.65.

Docker can run across a huge range of systems, OS versions, and configurations - far more permutations than we can exercise in-house. We’ve written up install steps for the environments we know about in our KB article, and we need the community’s help to validate them on real hardware before 2.65 ships.

If Docker is going to be your path moving forward, here’s how you can help:

  • Follow the steps in the KB article for your setup and let us know if they worked
  • If something didn’t work and you figured out a fix, share what you did - screenshots are especially helpful, and we can fold them back into the article
  • Include your hardware, OS, and any relevant version/firmware details
  • Post feedback in the thread below

We’ll iterate quickly on the image and the KB based on what comes in, with the goal of making the Docker path land cleanly when 2.65 goes out.

One note on branches: if you don’t set ROON_INSTALL_BRANCH, it will install production (v2.64), not early access. That’s fine - what we’re testing here is the Docker image, not the release itself.
