Does this mean I will have to use a previous `npm` release? If so, I’d better switch to Ubuntu (or Debian) as I hadn’t heard of DietPi prior to looking at Extension Manager…

This looks like a broken installation, based on the non-existence of the `/home/roon/.RoonExtensions/bin/roon-extension-manager.sh` script. Can you run the setup script once more and capture the output of it?

You can also work around it by running the Extension Manager in a Docker container. For that you run the `docker run` command, as specified [here](https://hub.docker.com/r/theappgineer/roon-extension-manager), in the DietPi shell. You don’t have to specify a tag.

The npm 7 issue needs more investigation, I don’t know yet when an update becomes available.

I updated the Linux setup script. It had an issue in setting up the installation path, causing the extensions to end up at the wrong place (hence why you had to modify the path).

### npm 7 compatibilty issues resolved (v0.11.9)

The Extension Manager stopped working when the internally used npm tool got updated to version 7.x, this was for example the case on a fresh install on DietPi. The issues manifested itself by reporting an “Extension query failed” after an extension installation and by not providing an Update action for the installed extensions.

![Screen Shot 2020-12-31 at 5.08.20 PM](https://roon-community-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/original/3X/2/7/27bee6a810b27b8f053452dff51a866f95036b15.png)

### How to recover?

If you ran into these issues you have to update in an alternative way as the Extension Manager cannot be updated via its Settings dialog. If you are running on DietPi you can recover by running the following command:

```
dietpi-software reinstall 86

```

If you run on another Linux distribution you use:

```
npm update -g roon-extension-manager

```

  

@Adi_Linden, I don’t know if you already worked around the issue, anyway, thanks for the report.

Hi @Daniele_Piancastelli,

I have had multiple reports of a broken Windows service, the thing is that it remained working on my Windows setup and that I could not track it down.

My suggestion is to move over to a Raspberry Pi for your extensions or run your extensions in a DietPi VM on Windows. This is how I choose to move forward with the Extension Manager. You can read about it in this post:

> [@Important information for Extension Manager users exclamation](https://community.roonlabs.com/t/important-information-for-extension-manager-users/151313):

> It is getting close to 4 years that I released the first version of the Extension Manager. Today I want to share my plans with you on how to move forward from here. As the full story got a little long for a forum post I ask you to read the Wiki page I created about “The Road to Version 1.0”. [Back in June 2017 I released the first version of the Roon Extension Manager, at that time all that could be installed with it was my Alarm Clock extension. Shortly after, extensions from other developers …](https://github.com/TheAppgineer/roon-extension-manager/wiki/The-Road-to-Version-1.0)

Hong normally a Raspberry Pi or something like a Docker container on a Synology or QNAP

I think these days the extensions are Linux only and I run mine on Raspberry Pi 4 devices and find it very reliable. DietPi is a good starting point for this and I have used it for years and only log on once or twice a year to perform updates.

I hope this helps.

thanks Michael…  
so RPI4 does not have to be a Roon Bridge or anything?  
it just runs the Extension Manager and extensions?  
can it be installed on the machine that runs the Core?  
i guess i’m missing the basic design of Core and its extensions…

Hong it depends on your Core.  
If running Rock then no, and while I am not 100% positive, I don’t think it runs natively on Mac or Windows either.

If you run Core on Linux then yes it can run Extension manager.

If you run something like DietPi then it can act as an endpoint and an extension manager server. I used this for a while and it worked well.

OK, I have it installed on the Core Linux machine and managed to install the Web Controller!  
And it is enabled.  
Now what? How do I _see_ it?

UPDATE: ip\_addr:8080 did the trick.

hi michael  
since you’ve been so helpful, here goes another dumb one:  
when i’m ready to update an extension like Web Controller,  
the instruction simply states On the node server, do a “git pull”

so my questions is:  
exactly where on the node server?  
~/.RoonExtensions or some subdirectory?

thanks again for your guidance…

I don’t do much with Docker or Git, but I have installed and updated a number of modules away from Roon Extension Manager (which does it’s own updates through the Roon interface) and I have gone into the folder a level below and run the installer or updater from there which has been successful (but don’t follow my advice on this).

This one is probably best answered by someone like @Jan_Koudijs
