        @sdetweil oh sorry - a vps is a remote, virtual machine. but it functions exactly like a low power (2cores 8g of ram) ARM machine.

          @eqpaisley does it have a local UI?

          if not, then you do
          npm run server
          to execute the server
          and then view with a browser somewhere else

          there is one install, and three different run modes
          full
          server
          client

            @sdetweil great ty. Yeah the plan is to run this non-gui version in server mode. I’ll need to edit the config to allow remote connections from my IPs and open the right ports, etc it will be a process lol but I think I can sort it out.

              @sdetweil could you remind me of the command to run NPM RUN SERVER in the background so it won’t quit when I close my SSH session?

              Also, if I need to re-run the server (let’s say I update the config or add a module) how do I do that?

                @eqpaisley if u setup pm2, then

                pm2 status will show u the managed apps

                pm2 --help will show u all the things it can do

                pm2 start
                pm2 restart
                pm2 stop
                pm2 info

                all take the name of the app, or the number

                if u setup pm2 q my script then it launches
                MagicMirror/installers/mm.sh

                change the npm start to npm run server

                if u didn’t setup pm2, then the script on my script
                fixuppm2.sh will do that

                  @sdetweil Thanks! I ended up setting up a magicmirror.service. now I use

                  sudo service magicmirror resart
                  

                  after each tweak to my config. I have it up and running on a free oracle cloud instance and behind a reverse proxy.

                  I guess the danger there is that anyone with the URL can access it…but they’d have to guess the URL…right?
