MagicMirror install on clean Pi image without extra's
-
First of all the MagicMirror is a super project!!
Due to the limited resources of a Pi it would be great that there was a script so you could install it on a Pi with no desktop version. So all the fuzz is skipped.
Or a script that later removes al unnecessary programs and files.
Preferable the first option is this possible or could this be developed? -
@MarkV one install, npm install
then just do
npm run server.
my script won’t install on text mode os
-
@MarkV The problem is that the core of MagicMirror (Electron) is based on Chromium. Chromium needs the desktop… so, you either need to strip out the unneeded stuff, or build your own distro of Raspberry OS.
-
@BKeyport electron is an optional dependency
so it won’t get install on a text mode system.
text mode u can do
npm run serveronly
-
so you could install it on a Pi with no desktop version
should be possible, but don’t think you find a script for this.
MM (with electron) runs on Fedora CoreOS in VirtualBox with 2 docker images (1x MM, 1x xserver), so this should also work with raspian lite.
