    Hey guys! I need to use enviromental variables process.env in the config.js. However I am unable to do so in the server only mode. The config.js is used in the “Webinterface”, this obviously don’t have access to the enviromental variables of Node.js. I am using balena-MagicMirror (made by me) to have multiple remotely managed MagicMirrors which all contain basically the same config, but differ in a few things that should be defined as enviromental variables. Anyone know how I can “inject” enviromental variables in the browser with some MagicMirror Module? Edit: I just created a module that will do this [card:idoodler/MMM-ENV-Provider]

    I have great news. I finaly had time to work on this again. It is currently working with some caviets. I will push my changes as soon as I resolved them. This is a huge improvement for me, as it enables easy remote management of many MagicMirror installations:)

    I was just reading about PiNet. I know it’s meant mostly for teachers in a classroom, but I’m guessing you could use something like that and have each pi log into the main server. It would be easy to customize for each person in the household and/or each location. It would be an interesting project. I have several pi’s and an old laptop, I might just try this. One for the bathroom mirror and one in the living room, I like the idea.

    @HayyatAli I’ve already built four or five magic mirrors now. I always proceed the same way: Buying the Raspberry Pi, as @nischi has already posted Buy a monitor the size you want to install later. Please make sure that you get a monitor that switches to sleep mode without a signal on HDMI and does not switch to a completely green or blue screen for minutes before :-) Installation of Raspian Installing Magic Mirror (just follow the hint from @nischi here) Installation of additional components such as motion detectors or a button to reboot the Raspberry then run the whole thing without wooden frame and mirror for a few days/weeks to detect bugs, try modules, detect incompatibilities, etc. Construction of a frame from e.g. wood Then take measurements for the mirror glass. Purchase of a spy mirror Assembly of components Here you can find a building instruction for my big mirror in the bathroom. I mounted an aluminium plate behind the spy mirror, which gives the whole thing stability, holds the monitor elegantly and ensures that no light falls through the spy mirror from behind. Greetings Sepp

    IMHO: Frameless monitors are okay. I personally remove the plastic bezel from the monitors so they’re essentially frameless anyway. If you’re uncomfortable with this, you can solve it by slinging money at the problem and buying a frameless monitor. The facing frame that you build in a typical mirror is going to put a border around the edges anyway. There is padding around the edge built into the Magic Mirror default stylesheet, so this becomes kind of a moot point. I have not built a touchscreen mirror, mainly for the reasons you mention. I try to keep my mirror looking like a mirror, and avoid finger smudges. A lot of people want a touch interface for some reason. I don’t personally understand it. The interface is mostly push, not push-and-drag so that’s more or less a non-issue. I relocate mine to the bottom of the box, hidden behind the frame. For the most part, they’re unused. But I like to leave them accessible just in case. My first mirror had a camera behind the acrylic that would detect movement. The latest mirror also uses a camera behind the glass. The next one will probably feature a hole drilled in the facing frame for the sensor. With a little patience and sharp tools, it can be very discreet.

    @Stoffbeuteluwe i don’t think so… it just says you are using commandline to install vs the gui tools…
