    @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

    I feel it’s pertinent to say that I’ve improved my process a little bit as somewhat detailed in my own answer to my question on stack exchange diy here. I can’t seem to link to it because the automated system thinks it’s spam. My results doing it that way are pretty good but still not perfect. I’ve been holding off on updating this post until I get the process down right.

    Yeah, simple solution? Add more light in the room where the mirror is. Another solution is to change the mirror to one that lets less light through (this will obviously also affect everything else displayed on the monitor). And third solution is to get an OLED display that doesn’t have the same backlight issues as normal LED TFT’s has.

    Hi If I need to test, let’s say the default clock in MM. Is it then possible to set up an environment in jsFiddle or liveweave, so I can take the index.html layout and add that to the HTML field, and then add the clock.js to the JS field and then test the settings? If yes, can someone add an example?

    @Anthony - That looks like a network outage. The errors show that the NASA module or whatever can’t pull images from the API. And then you lost connection to your mirror. Of course, it could be the Pi shutting off to disconnect the developer tools. Hrm.

    You could also take a look at mirr.os. I never played around with it, but it looks nice on the website.

    Thanks for the input everyone. I will change the update interval and I guess I will end up installing a roller on/off switch on the power cord same as the one you find on some lamps. This should insure no data transfer through the night or when we’re out. I can just shut it all down.

    @frode I thnik “Aptenposten” is just a “NAMED” source of Norway. However news.org is gathering more news from various sources(even blogs) of your country, but just they are not “named” sources.(i can see e24.no at this moment. That is a news site of Norway, right?) You can get more news with country code “no” instead direct definition “source”.

    @retroflex said in Horoscope!: :slightly_smiling_face: So I guess this is the first module you’ll install: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/1370/mmm-horoscope-daily-horoscope Thanks, i will try it… May be i start reading daily 😊 First modules to install were the default modules 😂 then i installed email, etc… But overtall building the case, frame of magic mirror is pending… Finally i decided to bulid Magic Mirror hardware part first… Because installing modules and editing config.js, making changes to how it looks, it is like super extra long process for me… I am a newbie and its hard for me to write the code, edit CSS etc.

    Magic mirror not starting on boot

    I installed MM from the bash command on the magic mirror 2 homepage a few weeks ago. It was working great for a few days, a restart would bring MM back up once it loaded. I finally got around to building the actual enclosure and mirror last night. Plugged everything in and started up the Pi and nothing, Raspbian loads up but no MM. Instead of troubleshooting I did a fresh install of OS and MM. Starts after install but after a reboot nothing. I’ve tried again multiple times with different sd cards and different Pi’s but the same result everytime. Sometimes I can manually load up MM from command prompt but sometimes it doesn’t work at all. Any idea what I’m doing wrong here?

    I don’t know if you all appreciate a little humor here but something I found amusing … I’ve been lurking here and plan to start a project soon-ish, but today I got junk-email advertising an LED mirror for the bathroom for less than I could build a project. They started building up the marketing, talking about it being programmable, etc The description was so similar that I was annoyed my project would be passe before it even started. … nope, $130 for a lighted mirror with a timer on the light.
