Having difficulty starting my mirror. I really need some help
-
I am realizing I am way outside of my depth and my father told me to leverage this forum. I am a middle school student trying to make a mirror for a school project.
I have found a pi 3 version b I got off craigslist. I have downloaded the mirror os and written it to the sd card. I have successfully booted and logged into the system but I can not get the mirror to start and I am finding it difficult to traverse the documents and dont understand how it works. Can someone assist me and give me specific instructions on how to start it and configure a few modules? I am stuck and am ashamed to tell you how much time I have spent working on this. I feel so stupid. Please help me. I am desperate. I could pay someone a moderate amount of money from my babysitting money. I dont have much. But I know everyone’s time is valuable. Please help

@mcirim @karsten13 can you help here

I think you installed MagicMirrorOS, this is not a simple setup because it uses container images to start the mirror.
If so, log in and execute the following commands line by line and post the output here.
uname -a df # following line only moves to another dir without any output: cd /opt/mm/run docker compose config docker logs labwc docker logs mm -
@mcirim Why did you choose mirror os? I think, it would be easier to use the normal Raspberry Pi OS and install MagicMirror the “standard way”.

@KristjanESPERANTO mmos is just raspi os with MagicMirror in docker
Should be simple, flash and boot

@sdetweil Sure, it’s nice solution. But docker makes it a bit more difficult to troubleshot. If a new user takes the standard way, he probably would better understand how everything works and find the step where it fails.
