We’ve had a number of updates these last couple of weeks and I’ve noticed an issue. My Roon server, a headless mac Mini, never restarts after an update. And by that, I mean the Roon server application doesn’t restart. After each update, I have to remote into the mini and hit start on server software.
I’m glad to submit a support ticket, but figured I’d crowd source the issue first and see if anyone else had noticed anything similar or had any suggestions. Thanks!
Hi, @kneville, thank you for the post and sorry for the delayed response. We will try to reproduce it locally.
Thanks!

No worries - I didn’t go with the official support form, so I wasn’t considering this an official support request! I’ll reply here with an update on the behavior the next time there is an update to the software. Thank you for looking into it.
I’ve had this problem the last couple of times I’ve updated Roon. On the client on a Mac, I’ve selected “update all”. Things proceed until the server component quits. But it doesn’t restart itself. I have to remote into the Mac Mini running the server component, find it in Finder (I use login items in Settings to find the proper location), and start it manually. Then everything is fine and up to date.
This issue is ongoing for me. I am on the early access train. Seems like it’s not widespread. Hasn’t been bothersome enough to submit an official ticket. I suppose as a good beta user, I should do that though.
Thought it was just me, but same for the past three EA updates for me too.
It’s the same for production builds, no automatic restart of the server process after an update (here with MacOS 15.7.x on a headless MacMini M1, used purely as roon server).
Local user rights on the Mac aren’t the issue. I definied a specific user “roonserver” that automatically logs on and has administrative privileges. I know, not the smartest thing to do security-wise. But without administrative privileges even the update itself fails because of missing write permissions in the “Applications” Folder.
