    @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 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: [image: 1589263598351-62a25fae-a0bc-4558-9ca7-53aa3ca79ada-image.png] 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. [image: 1588725608324-img_5875-2.png]

    Thank you for your reply, but I would like to set and erase the time in the magic mirror instead of fixing the time in config.js.

    [image: 1587580893932-mirrordashidg.jpg] Hello, I am the creator of a project called MirrorDash and I am looking for people with old smartphones and tablets to test my web app. MirrorDash is a specially designed (see-through) mirror, that can be equipped with a smartphone or tablet. The idea behind this is to breathe new life into old smartphones and tablets, which are now dusting away in many drawers and also give non-tech people a chance of having a cool mirror. In addition to the mirror, I have also developed the corresponding web app that runs directly from the browser on your old device. Once the app is launched and placed behind the mirror, it can be controlled from any other device with a browser. Currently, the app is equipped with the following options: 6 clocks (date / time) with the possibility to set different time zones Weather News Stock ticker Calendar for for Google, iCloud, hotmail / Outlook accounts. Basically any account that makes an .ics file available. Because I do not have every type of smartphone or tablet, I am looking for people who want to use their old device to test stability and I am also looking for feedback on design, ease of use, etc. I already test with a Samsung galaxy s4 mini, iphone 5s, Huawei Mate 10 Lite and a Samsung Tab A 2016 10.1 " Here you can find more about my project and there are also links for the app: http://mirrordash.org Thank you [image: 1587580767899-dsc_0001_e.jpg] Youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6X3z9gQxgJw

    @sdetweil I thought about using your scripts since I’ve used them for other installs and they worked perfectly. Since I had no idea how this install would go, I thought I’d do it stepwise, manually, in hopes of spotting where in the installation things went wrong. As it turned out, it went smoothly. Just as an aside, this pseudo WindowsXP GUI for the RPi 4 is pretty cool!

    @sgarg15 - No. And that’s the fun of experimenting. Find out for yourself. I could give you the answer, but to do so I would have to do all the work of testing out the various options in order to duplicate what you say that you want. And I would end up passing though various options you might want more than this one. It is far better for you to learn the module and figure out what appeals to you. Knuckle up and learn.

    @Mykle1 DON’T USE PX in the view height file… calculate the view height/width and use the tiny number the default is 120/1920 so the new is 240/3840 (width) or 240/2160 (height) so, if u want half that 120/2160, and 120/3840

    @moby It’s all possible and I can only encourage you to buy a Raspberry Pi and get started. But beware, it is quite time-consuming. It will not be done in days. Rather months. But if you find to have a knack or the interest for RasPi, Linux, Javascript and all that stuff it is a REALLY satisfying hobby. Go ahead and start with a Raspberry Pi and get it booted. We’ll be here to help. OR: Before buying a Pi you could consider installing the mirror on your laptop or any other device (there’s also a Windows installation guide) and see if you like setting it up in the first place. You could then transfer it to a RasPi easily!
