MagicMirror fails to be started via SSH console

Shouldn’t Display=:0 come after npm start?

See here: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror#manual-installation

Important: npm start does not work via SSH, use DISPLAY=:0 nohup npm start & instead. This starts the mirror on the remote display.

And if I execute DISPLAY=:0 nohup npm start &, I get the same error message, but logged to nohup.out.

@wewa00 what do you see on your display before starting up?
(Text console or graphical)

Hello jag,

my Raspberry is configured for Desktop boot (without Autologin). During boot I see the text console for some seconds but then I see the MagicMirror splash screen.

@wewa00 Have you tried enable auto login?
Can be configured with raspi-config.
