    @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

    Does anyone know the company Canviz ? They do a fairly similar thing to the magic mirror, (although the content that they display is different) - mostly pictures, animation, and things. However, they just decided to share their frame building tutorial for free! Also - if you are struggling with building a frame (and you have a 21.5" monitor your are using for your MM) you can simply purchase a ready made one of their frame! Looks to be MM compatible! For those of you who don’t know, the Canviz is a monitor inside a frame run by a raspberry pi… :) sound familiar? http://canviz.co/diy/ *am am not affiliated with canviz at all - just excited to have a proper frame tutorial! *

    @Mykle1 Good to know, as i was not aware there was a yellow - upper_third or cyan - middle_centre zones available… just the magneta - lower_third for compliments. top_bar and bottom_bar are light gray top_left and bottom_left are red top_center and bottom_center are blue top_right and bottom_right are green upper_third is yellow middle_center is cyan lower_third is magenta All these regions will resize as needed.

    @SoleLo Read here : https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/1381/ir-frame-doesn-t-rotate I ordered the IR Touch frame we are talking about here…now two of us have the same frame and that makes it easier to figure out any issues :)

    @SoleLo If you’re going to recess the cabinet into the wall, you could make a cheap box out of 2x4’s a few inches bigger than the medicine cabinet to run all of your wiring into and keep it in the wall. Then just pop in some cleats to mount the medicine cabinet into. The displays that I try and use have USB ports on them that give out enough power to run a pi zero so the only cable/cord you would need would be power to the display itself. you could probably just use some cable staples to fasten the cord to the hinge side and keep it fairly clean looking.

    As an amateur, there are a couple things that I just don’t understand about git. I’ve decided to clone my fork of the project to the desktop on my pi, so that I will have another version of my MagicMirror on GitHub. However every time I make a change, it doesn’t show up in git status. When I do git push it asks for my username and password, but still does not work. Is there a way to log on to my account from the command prompt so I can complete these actions?

    I can recomend you 3 things: Check the next documentation http://rogerdudler.github.io/git-guide/ (simple) https://backlogtool.com/git-guide/en/stepup/stepup1_1.html (some details about branches) http://rogerdudler.github.io/git-guide/ Second one, use this interactive tutorial https://try.github.io The last, you can work better using a zsh+oh-my-zsh. This enable to see where branch you are and status repository into the shell prompt. https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh

    Hi @strawberry-3-141, @donboon3, @johnnyboy @cowboysdude @lolobyte Thanks to everyone for replying. For this to work I was thinking it could be different to a forum and perhaps needs an interface and layout of it’s own. Something visual so it’s easy to pick out the information and see how it looks. I have mocked something up - would love to get your feedback on this [image: Mwfpxww.jpg]

    Hm, this is no real usecase for me. The mirror - at least for me - is a technical and modern way to replace old fashioned paper calendars / schedulers with some addons like weather forecast, traffic jams and public transport delays, without having to use the smartphone. I don’t want to browse websites while brushing my teeth or view the latest news while taking a shower :)

    Well, configs and all, I don’t really see the point in sharing config files, It’s basically just a list of modules. When you get in to it you will see that the real visual changes to the mirror is done with the custom css file, and as you said, there is already a section for that :)
