    @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

    @hi-proof well the doc says you don’t need it [image: 1638763108113-screenshot_20211205-215728_chrome.jpg] but you could follow the link in the locationID description, and click find and click the resulting link. to get the number.

    @kimosaj it all depends on horsepower and memory. you can run docker for both, as there is an image for mm. integrating them is a different topic

    @sdetweil said in Face Recognition and Profile: @cldparisi the face reco modules do switching for people, so u don’t need profile switcher too I installed and configured MMM-Face-Reco-DNN and it works well. Thanks for your suggest. Now I’m trying MMM-MotionControl, it should work together MMM-Face-Reco-DNN …in this moment it not works very well but I don’t stop trying

    @topher04 read the two posts in my signature. I didnt write them also, some modules have problems since we deleted some deprecated (cancelled) libraries see https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/15778/fix-for-black-screen-in-2-16-and-later/11

    @vlogsmath I hate to say this but… Do you have the frame correctly oriented? I have a 32" IR touch frame and never had to run any kind of calibration on mine. I just installed it with the usb plug in the lower right corner.

    Can I execute shell script from MQTT?

    Hi All I have the MQTTBridge module set up, and it works very very well. I can restart MM, reboot, turn the HDMI on and off and everything. What I would like was to add a way to run a shell script. I looked into the Remote Control module, and it has some customcommands, but I think that is just for already defined commands. So what else can I do? The ideal would be to just set a MQTT topic, and it starts a shell script I’ve made.

    I have a feeling that they just stop working or fire their support because I cannot find any activity on the Dakboard during this period. But yes, this is too funny a situation.

    Has anyone else seen this: https://www.zdnet.com/article/say-hello-to-ubuntu-frame/ I’m wondering if it might apply to MagicMirror, and if so, how?

    @yuvismahi2 it’s open source, use rpiplay to find the window for mm or add a new mm module to enable an API, and call it to minimize mm and restore it when rpiplay stops mirroring

    @sdmydbr9 perhaps off-topic, perhaps an idea. I have homeassistant which does thse kind of announcememnts daily. It’s connected with my alexa (works also with google). I know it’s not related to MM but still, it works without the need for much coding and it’s quite modular for controlling various elements of my home

    Yeah, I’d recommend the PM2 method. In my install, I’ve also got an 18650 battery based UPS in place along with proper cooling… the UPS automatically shuts down the Pi if on battery too long, and will restart it for me. Easy as Pi(e).
