Installer scripts on Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W
-
@kribbitykrab if you ran the setup _over_server
it should have changed the start script in
package.json to"start":"./run-start.sh",can you confirm that
looks like i had a bug in the script, run it again
-
@sdetweil Ah! I had thought I had to do those steps in the other order so I hadn’t ran the setup_over_server script yet–I have ran it now.
The readout after DISPLAY=:0 npm start is not much more promising. Can’t quite share a screenshot from here, but it has gotten to the point where it says “Ready to go! Please point your browser to” and it’s trying to start Midori!
Now the waiting game.
-
@kribbitykrab did you install midori?
can you launch midori from the commandline -
@sdetweil Weird sequence of events. Midori did end up booting, but then it just stayed on a blank white page without loading anything else. I let it sit for a couple hours just in case it was being slow, but no dice. I alt-tabbed back to the terminal to see if I had any error logs or something. I didn’t see anything, so I alt-tabbed back, and voila! I have a display!
I didn’t change the config.js file, so I assume this is the default setup. I see date, time, holidays in the top left. In the center I see some compliments and some news headlines. In the top right I see the weather!
I guess now I can try to fiddle around to get the calendar modules setup how I’d like.
Would ideally like this to boot on launch of the pi 0w, any advice there would also be handy.
From the default timing display, it appears it’s refreshing anywhere from every second to every ~10seconds.
-
@kribbitykrab if you ran the fixuppm2 script it would have setup MagicMirror to start on boot
I made separate scripts for the extra steps used in the installer in case one needed to do it manually, or changed their mind (fox example, didn’t want pm2 at install, but does now)the modules update independently
