Automatic checking of all MagicMirror² modules
-
@BKeyport As an IT person I would say we need to move with the times. Being stuck in the old is never good. Have you tagged your modules as per the stats gathered on it?
-
@mumblebaj 90% of the modules in the system are outdated and would never be tagged, so…
-
@BKeyport Gives users an indication that they are outdated and may not be supported. My point is being stuck in the past is never a good idea unless you want your project to “die”
-
@mumblebaj lots of useful modules haven’t been updated. pages for example…
so old is not bad necessarily
-
I don’t care if it is not updated or not as long as it works.
However, we can call someunmaintained-anymoremoduleslegacy. Maybe a taglegacyto some old modules be a good way to distinguish. By contrast, the other side might bemodern.If possible, I wish for more features/rules for common
"modern"modules. These could help automate the management of modules.-
Installer command/script/instruction
Some modules may need additional manual pre-requisition or dependency jobs (e.g. getting auth), but most of the modules would be possible to prepare simple scripts for installation. (inpackage.jsonand specificinstallerfolder). If so, we can provide anauto-install/updatefeature to MM. -
Basic default configuration example file.
If possible, adefaultconfig example would be a help for the newbie, and with that content,auto-configurationwould be possible in the installation stage.
Of course, there might beprivate-informationorAPI-Keyissues… -
Using
.envto store private/secure information. (Or private.json something…)
To separate normal configuration from sophisticated private data (e.g., API Key, Account, password, etc.) , using.envmay be the option. It could be composed through an installation script if needed.
I wish we could have something like a
plugins marketorbundle storeof other applications. -
-
@MMRIZE I’d love to see a plugin store and/or marketplace of sorts. Some other projects uses NPM with a fancy front end web to do so, much like some modules use(d) a web interface to set up the initial config or adjust configs (Sam’s config module, MMM-RTSP, etc)
This would be an ideal marketplace (Simple, to the point, shows everything a user needs) :
Then when the user wants to config:
Homebridge is one of the better ways of doing things, IMO.
-
By the way, the verify system for them is to verify the module is stable, etc, once you get verified, you can advertise for donations within the system, this is why I have a red heart on mine. (all of my modules/plugins/etc I do I have a donation link for a charity I like)

@KristjanESPERANTO is the third-party modules site having issues? Currently seeing this:
-
@BerkSmash1984 seems OK
-
@sdetweil This is working for you too?

-
@BerkSmash1984 that one not working
-
@BerkSmash1984 I just fixed it. It was a mistake on my part and should not happen again :-)
-
@KristjanESPERANTO Awesome. Thanks for the response!
