MagicMirror install on LXC Container as a server will not do

kusselin

Hello everyone, I would like to install the MagicMirror as a server on a Proxmox LXC container…what have I done so far:

1.New ConLXC container created

Ubuntu 24 LTS installed
3.run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y
4.created new user “MM” with useradd -s /bin/bash -m MM
5.assign password for MM
add the new user to the group “sudo” with sudo usermod -a -G sudo MM
7.reboot
8.logged in with MM and pass
9.then execute the following command:

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

10.After installation, the following command is executed:

bash -c  "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/upgrade-script.sh)"

11.then entered cd and I am on

mm@MagicMirror-live:~$

12.then enter nano mm.sh and insert the following there:

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm run server

13.Then make the file executable with

chmod +r ~/mm.sh

then enter crontab -e and select 1 then enter the last thing at the bottom:

@reboot /home/pi/mm.sh

15.then out and reboot made…
16.to be on the safe side, go to the /MagicMirror directory and run npm run server…then this is what comes out:

mm@MagicMirror-live:~/MagicMirror$ npm run server

> magicmirror@2.28.0 server
> node ./serveronly

@kusselin server should run forever til stopped with kill or ctrl-c

Also you don’t need to run upgrade right after install. Install always does the latest

kusselin

@sdetweil hi, And how do I get it so that the server is always running…
Isn’t npm run server enough?

sdetweil

@kusselin that should be it

Says received int signal, like someone did ctrl-c

Hi kusselin,
use this ready skript from Proxmox VE Helper Scripts - it works like a charme.

"To create a new MagicMirror Server LXC, run the command below in the Proxmox VE Shell.
To Update MagicMirror, run the command below (or type update) in the LXC Console.

bash -c “$(wget -qLO - https://github.com/tteck/Proxmox/raw/main/ct/magicmirror.sh)”

⚡ Default Settings: 512MiB RAM - 3GB Storage - 1vCPU ⚡

MagicMirror Interface: IP:8080

⚙️ Configuration

It’s from this url: https://tteck.github.io/Proxmox/
