Roon bridge/server on raspberry pi 5 8GB

[Stefan_Fischer]

Hi, just got my pi5 with 8GB of ram.
I tried to install roon-bridge, but with no success. Power of pi5 should be sufficient. How to install the bridge component?

I did the following:
tar -xvf RoonBridge_linuxarmv8.tar.bz2
apt-get install ffmpeg
cd RoonBridge
./check.sh
Checking for Binary Compatibility [ FAILED ]

also tried it with package RoonBridge_linuxarmv7hf.tar.bz2
Bin compatibility also failed

Maybe the new one needs a new one compiling all new models seem go up an arm version. Likely not been done yet as they are thin on the ground.

Can you share the output from uname -m? AFAIK, the RPiv5 is ARM8, so it may simply be the check in the script that doesn’t cater for the newer variant.

sorry,
I can install roonbridge. But I want server component. There is no installer script for roon server on arm8.

uname -m output:
aarch64

To be clear, Roon Bridge (ARM8) installs without error, including check.sh? Please report this accurately as it may help others.

There is no installer script for roon server on arm8.

Roon Server is only available for x86_64, so you can’t install it on a Raspberry Pi. Indeed, this is not a supported platform, since it doesn’t come close to the performance of the i3 processor, e.g. an i3-8109U used in a NUC8i3, which is the minimum specification for running Roon server.

@mjw

which is the minimum specification for running Roon server

That can’t be correct, as Roon still supports the NUC5i3 as a host for Roon Server:

Roon Optimized Core Kit

I said, “for example”, “e.g.” The i3 is the minimum specification (processor) for running Roon Server.

The Raspberry Pi’s architecture is different, but it’s still not able to match the performance of a system powered by an i3 processor. Nonetheless, Roon Server on Linux/ARM may happen, but
this is unlikely for RPi-based devices.

Hi Guys, if you are like me and would love to see Roon Server running on an appropriately kitted-out Raspberry Pi 5 (e.g. sufficient RAM and a fast NVMe drive), then please add your vote to this Feature Suggestion:

Roon Server on Linux on Arm64 Platform (including but not limited to Raspberry Pi 5)

Hallo, roon developers. Can you please compile roon server for armv7 or armv8 platform? I know - you can, because it works fine on x86 linux.
