I was thinking about this abbreviation as well. The reason why I choose for ‘voelt als’, is that it is a complete phrase. This makes it quicker to recognize for a small peek and first time readers.
@MikeBishop I have not seen any tests on the newer node and electron versions… there are breaking changes along the way, and new restrictions (like browser sandbox in this latest release), and cross site scripting restrictions , etc…
you ware welcome to try and give feedback… no guaranties.
I run my installer on all the devices I can get access to
I have pi0(armv6l), pi3, pi4, odroid(armv7l) , jetson nano (arm64), linux on intel, mac on intel
both physical and virtual machines
(my odroid is my production machine in the hall)
the others are development test. in my office.
the project has reduced focus to pi 3 or 4.
Sorry if this is a repeated question, but it is difficult to search for my query, mainly because “2 mirror” kind of clashes with “magic mirror 2” lol
Up until now, I’ve been running a mirror for a few months already without any major issue. I run the server as a Docker image on a rpi4 with one dummy browser attached to it. Now I want to have a second mirror upstairs with a totally different layout, so my question is: I’m I better off creating another Docker instance or can I pass on a configuration file of some sort through the url?
For example:
example.com:8099 => first mirror, picks up the default config
example.com:8099/?conf=upstairs => second mirror, combines default + custom ‘upstairs’ conf.
Is this possible? My preferred solution would be to use the same instance because I’ll be using the same API credentials for some stuff (and the same engine behind it), so I would like to have my configs on 1 place, otherwise I’ll just create another instance listening to another port.
Greetings.
@evroom Yeah, you’re right. It will boot from SD first and then USB if you have enabled USB boot. So there’s really nothing that will screw up by enabling the one time change. Here’s more info:
https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=225812
That also says the newer RPi3+ has enabled USB boot by default.
The scrolling is just another challenge, I believe. I imagine either two buttons that can attach as a keyboard and act as arrow keys, or a kind of motion detection, for example using a HC-SR04 or a camera.
It should work for any web page.
@xxLulaBelle alternatively you could use a gesture sensor and run it with the MMM-GroveGestures module. I have one to swipe pages and to start/stop a news podcast with MMM-Podcast2. Works great!
I have the cursor app working, but need a mini-menu at the top to select which of the apps are visible and active.
Way too many things to display with this neat program.
I’ll probably use it using VNC viewer remotely.
A simple monitor, no fancy mirror.
The complexibility and flexibility of this program are AMAZING.
Help me before I go back to PiPresents!
Thanks Bo W4GHV
Any ham radio apps appreciated too.
@bryceblood are you talking about MMM-Slack and
MMM-SlackAnnouncements? I’m not the creator or maintainer of those. Or did I misunderstand your question? Thanks.
anybody that know anything about mac file system permissions might be able to help me…
I have samba server share that is connected on logon to my catalina box.
using the login items page
if I open a terminal window, the share is there and usable
I also have MM installed and the MMM-ImagesPhotos module. which has symbolic links to folders on the samba share
if I start MM from the command prompt, via npm start, all works ok,
if I start MM with pm2, (which does an npm start from the batch file), the share is not accessible…
with this error reported from my code
exception=Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, scandir '/selectedpics'
exception=Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, scandir '/sp'
this link seems to say if I could find ‘the application’ I could enable access
https://osxdaily.com/2018/10/09/fix-operation-not-permitted-terminal-error-macos/
I cannot find pm2 (it is outside my user space) /usr/lib/bin/pm2
I tried making the electron.app thing as the application, but still doesn’t work.
the share opens correctly at login
pm2 starts MM correctly at login
SO close…
@Mykle1 hahaha, that was not my question!
I thought of this, for example:
https://www.meteoblue.com/de/wetter/widget/setupthree/graz_Österreich_2778067 offers a nice looking easy to customize weather-forecast:

or Highway-cameras from Nordrhein-Westfalen with livestream (https://www.verkehr.nrw/#):
[image: 1589262439823-d0d93531-4d8f-488e-a59e-d8c7c339a9ef-image.png] also available for Bayern and Switzerland
or Rain-radar
[image: 1589262851395-1b437ded-0619-40c1-a1d5-91720720c384-image.png]
which has a way to get the html-source exported
Create a local HTML-page on the PI with the content from above and use MMM-SmartWebDisplay to disply it on the screen.

I also had an idea on not adding many modules and keeping it clean. But then I kept adding useful modules as time passed. And I never use it as a mirror because a regular mirror is slightly better. Mine is 24". Bigger would definitely be ok, but smaller would be too small imo.
I guess I should add an image. I have “MMM-json-feed”, “currentweather” and “weatherforecast” all “bottom_right” and they stack nicely.
