Roon Extension Manager now included in DietPi (v6.10)

The problem has been reported before but i forgot about it:

It remains a mystery to me why the postinstall script runs on some platforms but does not on others, even with the same npm and Node.js versions :confused:

Only thing I can come up with at this moment is something that might be a workaround:

  • Connect to your DietPi using ssh
    ssh root@<ip address>
  • Install the Denon extension manually with the --ignore-scripts option
    npm install --ignore-scripts -g https://github.com/docbobo/roon-extension-denon.git
  • Now get to the Extension Manager on your Roon Remote, select the Extension Manager from the System category and perform the Restart action
  • Open the Extension Manager again and go the the Denon extension, it should be reported as Stopped. You can now perform the Start action.

With these steps I get it running on DietPi but I don’t know if it works correctly as I don’t own a Denon or Marantz receiver.

@Jense, @Andy_Spinks, please let me know if this works.
