not good to install under root

sdetweil

@kusselin but if you are running in a container

the the mm.sh script should be running as server
as there is no ui on a container

npm run server

not

npm start

@sdetweil said in MagicMirror install on proxmox LXC Container?:

@kusselin pm2 logs --lines=50
not good to install under root

Hello, thank you for the tips…o.k. under root this is nuicht so good…
Again from the beginning…I install ubuntu 22.04 standard in a LXC container. I have also created the container by default. This has also all worked great. After that I started the container.

So when I am on the console it is so that I log in with root and pass. But that is not so good.
So I have now created a standard user with pass. Habs then times made as on Rasoian with user “pi” udn the default password for it. To test!

So, now I log in with user “pi” and the default password…now I stand on the “prompt”

login as: pi
pi@192.168.200.74's password:

Then I take the script from you here:

bash -c  "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/raspberry.sh)"

So and if I then start your script via Console then comes the message “[sudo] password or pi”.

[sudo] password for pi:

But you just said that the installation under “root” (sudo) is not good? Yes what is right now? What do I have to do now?

Do I have to insert “su” here then??

I don’t have a “sudo” password for pi - how do I create it?

Do I have to log in again with “pi” and the default pass and then create a “root” pass for pi?

and if I then take the root password from my created LXC container, it always comes “sorry try again”.

[sudo] password for pi:
Sorry, try again.
[sudo] password for pi:

What am I doing wrong here?

This is what I do not understand and do not know. Can you please describe me this in understandable sentences briefly how I have to proceed with the installation?

Thank you

kusselin

so installed again under “pi”…

kusselin

When everyone have proxmox…please install it and give me feedback how you installed it.
Thanks a lot

sdetweil

@kusselin

change the script that starts mm from

npm start
to
npm run server

a container has no desktop,
npm start tries to load the graphical UI using electron.

npm run server

just starts the server side, for external browsers to access

I can’t tell what that error is, but the internet has moved to https connections by default, and many browsers warn when accessing http sites like MagicMirror is running.

so you either have to accept the warning, or find a way in the browser to disable to message

https setup requires a certificate, which is not free.

kusselin

hi sdetweil, sorry my Linux knowledge is not good.

Can you explain me how to change the script udn where in the script?

Is my basic installation but with user “pi” so correct

sdetweil

@kusselin my pm2 setup uses
~/MagicMirror/installers/mm.sh
