      very interesting. I’ve installed it, but I can’t access to webpanel.
      Tried with:
      http://IP:PORT/configure
      http://LOCALHOST:PORT/configure
      no access.
      tried with standard 8080 and another port chosen by me.
      computer IP is whitelisted, and clearly on same network.
      config check is OK

      ~/MagicMirror/config $ npm run config:check

      magicmirror@2.30.0 config:check
      node js/check_config.js

      Another little issues: sometimes I got black screen with cursor after “npm run start”
      I have to restart it in order to making it work

          on the startup, can you show the output of
          npm run start

          also show output of
          free -m

                      Exactly but I can’t access.
                      Now I’m trying give a whitelist complete access.

                      The only error I see is a GPU process error but I don’t think is connected to the web server.

                        My fault. In config.js the adress was set in “localhost”… Sorry.
                        Now I set the IP and I granted the access

                          @nowayto yes, the doc mentions this, and if you had set

                          showQR:true

                          it would have displayed a message about localhost
