    @OrangeMirror the current docker setup will only work for multiple instances IF you use the MM_CONFIG_FILE environment variable to run instances off different config files, or the MM_PORT env variable to override the port if using the same config.js all the files will come from the ONE folder tree ~/magicmirror so this means you would have to setup multiple entries in the compose.yaml to launch multiple instances (with the different config parms) You have to change the container name too this is because all the DATA used by the container is external (on docker host filesystem) and not IN the container an example NOT using docker, but same idea here https://docs.magicmirror.builders/configuration/introduction.html#advanced-configuration-and-frequently-asked-how-to-configure-examples

    @navneetjain - First, it really depends on what country you’re in. In the USA, you can sell off a mirror that you’ve made for yourself, but you can’t turn it into a business selling the mirrors. The reasons involve the patent on the method of displaying information through a sheet of one way glass. Mich looked into it a few years ago and decided that the licensing the patent from the company that owns it wasn’t worth it. Of course, the above advice is highly depended upon how your company enforces patent infringement. I am not a lawyer and would recommend seeking a good one before starting a business selling the mirrors.

    Go to the community order on this page, that’s proper mirrors, and they are very good quality. They cost a bit more than a bendy acryllic sheet, or a film, but they are well worth it :-)

    @sdetweil Why? Because I just used his install script for the um-teenth time. I’ve used it on Pi’s, laptops of all kinds, my dev machine, etc… and every time it has worked without a hitch. So? So thank you, Sam. :thumbsup:

    Hi Everyone, Just an update on how this project of mine is going. Its been a slow process due to work, trying to get a house buy out the way but i’m making baby steps. i’ve got modules in and i have the system set up to play my playlists using nfc tags. I’m going to countersink 3.5inch marine speakers into the frame, that way the speakers wont be muffled being behind the frame and glass and also they are waterproof which being in the bathroom would be good for condensation i think. I;ve also purchased the doppler sensor in place of the PIR. i’m going to put a LED strip behind the frame as mentioned in other posts and going to figure out if i can have this turn on/off with the screen using the sensor. my programming skills are mostly non exisitent so this will be a challenge in itself. Anyway i’ll post some pictures when i finally get it all together. Cheers Michael

    Add Publishing Date and Sort by Date Option

    Hi. Would it be possible to have something like the publishing date added to the list of Modules on Github and the sorting by date option? This would in my eyes facilitate the search of “new” modules. Example. Every now and then I check about new weather modules. I have to go through all the existing ones and see if one pops out of the list just by going through the list. This is very annoying. It would be nice to have a sorting option to sort the modules by publishing date AND by update date. Lets say an existing module got an update, I would like to know that and check if the module now fits my needs. Hope I am not the only one looking for this. Appreciate if everyone who is interested in this would add a :thumbs_up_light_skin_tone: comment to this topic. Thank you all.

    @arkabase said in Server only MM: Can server-only MM run on Raspbian lite (console only instead of full desktop raspbian ? Raspbian lite is a minimal version of Raspbian and omits things like Wolfram Alfa, Libre office, and most notably X server, the download clocks in at 300MB vs 1.3 GB for Raspbian and it’s ideal if you intend to run the Raspberry Pi as a headless server without a GUI

    @lkthomas ah. I did not read that in your prior text. U will have to change the animation css to use many more smaller steps… caution, that will consume a lot of cpu power, and may not leave enough for other requirements on some processors
