Upcoming Roon Linux Performance Changes

[joltman80]

I received an email today from Roon stating that they were making changes to Roon server to increase Linux performance. These changes involve installing other software. I wanted to create an issue here with the link in hopes that the docker container you built will be updated accordingly. Thanks for the container, it works great!

It does look like the library is installed in the container by default, I suspect it will just work when the new version of roon is rolled out.

apt list --installed | grep libicu

libicu63/oldstable,oldstable,now 63.1-6+deb10u1 amd64 [installed,automatic]

In the kb article they reference a newer version but I don't think that should be an issue. I just applied for the beta and will load it into the live container when approved.

yup, did confirm this myself just now. I did check all the dependencies listed on Microsoft site and all are present.

For debian10 the dependency is libicu63 and roonlabs confirmed the update works on debian10, so I think we are good to go.

I also applied for beta and test for sure if allowed in

@steefdebruijn I was accepted into the beta, just kicked off a backup now, will test it tonight and report back any findings.

I did install the beta last night and it runs like a charm

Was just coming to check on the same thing. Thanks for checking into this @steefdebruijn and @daemonp !

👍 from my testing as well. Kudos to @steefdebruijn for the forward thinking design of the docker file.
