    @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

    Unfortunately the author has decided to no longer provide modules for MagicMirror. Please save what you have, copy the folders. You may need to adjust your update notification module setting to disable notifications you can do nothing about. I do not know how long the modules will continue to work. Very sad turn of events.

    Hi Guys, I’m a first time poster, long time lurker and owner of an MM2 system. I’ve been using MM2 for about 5 or so years now, it’s morphed many times over the years to fit my needs. Currently, it runs atop a Pi3 and has time, family shared calendar, weather, dad jokes and displays a carousel of still snapshots from my outdoor cameras.

    @sdetweil Thank you for the info. However, I finally successfully migrated to Trixie with desired Monitor Resolution and Rotation. And i am using Raspberry Pi 3B+ with an Acer 27 Inch monitor. With Trixie being launched only three weeks back, there is almost no solutions avaiable. I will shortly share my process of how it was achieved. Thanks

    I took the plunge. My five year old MagicMirror ground to a halt as far as Display resolution, Rotation and DIsplay control are concerned. Everything was working great on my Raspberry Pi 3B+. An unfortunate rpi-update broke everything. I struggled to restore Bullseye, and it was a shock to realise it is not easy to find the right official image. I then tried Bookworm, the three issues continued to remain unsolved. I then decided to install Trixie. Most of the transition of MM was smooth, ofcourse with a few hicks, but getting the display resolution and rotation was the most frustrating part. I got it working finally. I have restored the Display resolution and the rotation succesfully. I will shortly upload the entire process which was not only exhausting but of great learning value. I need to recover the GPIO Notification Module which isnt working and resulting Motion control of monitor using RCWL0516.

    @carl22 I have not seen any physical connection, but what you seek should be relatively easy The calendar and weather and clock modules broadcast their data to allow other modules to consume them So your module receives these events (at the notificationReceived function) and needs to tell the motors to move Your web side sends a message to the server side, using the sendSocketNotification function And the server side (node_helper.js socketNotificationReceived) ). Launches your python script to do that My PythonPrint launches a python script on some cycle and sends the scripts output back to the browser side https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-PythonPrint See the doc here https://docs.magicmirror.builders/module-development/core-module-file.html

    @sdetweil that’s a much cleaner way to disable a module. I will use that. Thanks again for your help.

    In addition: It’s possible that the old recovery script was part of my problems - due to the above mentioned ping problem. For this reason I’ve edited my earlier post and deleted the content of the script. I’ve added an “edit note” instead. Sorry for confusion and any inconvenience! Regards, Ralf

    Also, some modules document their css styles, Some you have to look for a CSS file in their files list And some you have to use the developers window to discover them There are no rules enforced here by MagicMirror
