the last error is displayed again and again.

Server should be newest version:

Then I should restart, I try / do this a lot. Then this morning the server is back to the enter account page:

Next try is doing a release upgrade in Ubuntu, but the problem started with the update of Roon. Never had the issue of not being able to login. Never had to use backups before, but the seem to not work properly.

Release update is done to newest Ubuntu LTS release. The update went through without any problems, Roon server starts, but shows the same problems:

  1. Need to login OR restore from backup
  2. restored from backup => no connection possible
  3. back to login OR restore page
  4. the Logfile shows some Error logs, but I do not know how to provide the Logfile here

roon starts up again:

  1. Note to anyone having the problem. After loading the Backup Login is needed, then the server starts.
  2. Next problem. The Roon imported network shares are not working. I can add them with username and password, but then it is not used (albums from shares are not imported). Strange the mounts are added to a “/mnt/RoonStorage_xxxxx…” folder. I disabled the old paths and readded from the RoonStorage folder and now it loads all albums.
