    @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

    @mcnahum MMOS is good for what it does, but a lot of the instructions you will find here and other places won’t work as MM is running inside a docker container… so all the maintenance work will be different for migrate… I wrote a little backup/restore which saves config.js, and custom.css and the links to the modules you have installed and then restore reads that info and reinstalls modules to a new MM install (previously completed, maybe with the automated install script, see https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts) … my idea is that you would use git to hold the info from the backup (really small as just 2 files and links) (so you are not backing up gigabytes for stuff) and then clone it and restore from there https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror-backup-restore the commands have help --help will display that

    The MirrorCommandLine package was introduced here in a previous post describing its features and installation. MirrorCommandLine has been renamed MirrorCommand with many new features added and installation packages available in Debian and RPM formats. This post is to announce the availability of MirrorCommand Version 3.0.0 Release 1 See the MirrorCommand README to learn more about command line control of MagicMirror and the automated installation and configuration of MagicMirror with the MirrorCommand package. This major release of MirrorCommand introduces support for multiple monitors, switching MagicMirror screen display between monitors and full support for both portrait and landscape mode displays. Voice commands for screen switching have been added via the MMM-GoogleAssistant module recipe file MirrorCommand.js. To install: Download the latest Debian or RPM format packages NOTE: The automated configuration requires access to some X11 graphical utilities. Depending upon your system’s X11 configuration, it may be necessary to grant the root user access to the display. To do so, prior to installation issue the command: xhost +si:localuser:root or grant everyone access with xhost + Install the package on Debian based systems by executing the command sudo apt install ./MirrorCommand_3.0.0-1.deb Install the package on RPM based systems by executing the command sudo yum localinstall ./MirrorCommand-3.0.0-1.noarch.rpm Removal of the package on Debian based systems can be accomplished by issuing the command: sudo apt remove mirrorcommand Removal of the package on RPM based systems can be accomplished by issuing the command: sudo yum remove MirrorCommand Post installation, configure /usr/local/MagicMirror/etc/mirrorkeys with any keys used by your modules. Once keys are configured, execute the command: /usr/local/bin/showkeys

    There is no module that addresses this city. There is an api available: api.winnipegtransit.com I have zero experience coding modules, but I have some outdated coding skills. Is there a transit module I might possibly use as a starting point? One that I could modify with my Winnipeg api?

    @johans In the midst of the Holidays, found difficulty getting in touch with them. Was hoping to find an answer on the forums in the meantime. Got in touch with them today, for future users with a similar question: Grey Mirropane reflective material is attached on the frontside of the glass. So mounting to the backside with 3M VHB is a go :thumbs_up: Asked for alternative mounting materials, and they said 3M VHB is what they use as well.

    @hrishim Update - The WaveShare Raspberry Pi UPS hat powers the Raspberry Pi via GPIO pins. It also has a connector so other pins can be used. The UPS has a USB power out 5v. I am using that to power a 7in display (Raspberry Pi display). So this works out - one wall socket connection only needed. Just make sure the usb to micro-usb cable is a power cable.

    I placed two Compliment modules in a MMM-Carousel module. The first Compliment module specified in the file works as usual. The second Compliment module shows only one compliment. If I move them out of the Carousel they work fine. Any help tp fix this much appreciated.

    @bkeyport Yes… I reloaded Buster and it works just fine… thanks all for the help… I was going to try Jessie but couldn’t get it downloaded. The download kept failing right at the end of the download… So then I tried Buster. You guys are a godsend when we have problems… The question is who do the experts go to when the experts have problems they can’t figure out?? Hope you all have your experts you can rely on or maybe you don’t have problems you can’t figure out… All have a Merry Christmas and a great 2022… Dennis N6NG
