        @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

          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:

          pi@MagicMirror-live:~$ ^C
          pi@MagicMirror-live:~$
          
          

          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”.

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

          Installing helper tools ...
          [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

                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.
