Roon Server keeps stopping on DSM7

Roon Software Discussion QNAP/Synology NAS
1

Just updated my Synology DS716+ to DSM7 and followed the upgrade options for Roon. All installed fine… But when I click “Run” it reports “Running” and then says “Manually Stopped” all on it’s own.

What am I missing?

RoonServer folder now has a DSM6_RoonServer_Database_Backup, so assume upgrade worked.

RoonOnNAS.log.txt reports:

Did you delete the original Roon package and install the dedicated DSM7?

Originally followed the instructions on the link you shared @Phil_Ryan. Installed fine but would not stay running. I have since uninstalled and moved all the RoonServer files to one side. Reinstalled and it’s working fine. Just need to re-setup a few things. Guess it’s something in my original config that was causing the stopping.

I have also experienced that the roon server keeps stopping more frequently than before on my DS716+II. Is it working without issues for others with the same setup? I am running the server on a external ssd as recommended. Wondering if the NAS is not really powerful enough, or if it is worth upgrading to 8GB of memory. Based on the resource monitor it seems like memory might be the bottleneck. But if not I might as well consider upgrading the NAS.

Also, anyone know how to make it automatically restart roonserver after reboot when installed on an external drive? I tried to ask chatgpt, who(?) suggested to use this code as user defined script under task scheduler:

/usr/syno/bin/synoservice --list | grep RoonServer | awk ‘{print $1}’ | xargs -i synoservice --start {} --volume exfat

Unfortunately I don´t understand it well enough to say why it is not working. But I was hoping rebooting could help on the performance as well.

Apologies for all the questions, but would be nice to know if roon is running smoothly on the DS716+II for others.
