MagicMirror Servermode on Synology DS
-
@bhepler I haven’t managed to change the ipwhitelist (and other configs) yet, because I don’t know how to access the config.js file. After installing git, the next steps had to be done via the docker integrated ssh client, because I wasn’t able to access the git container (files in it) from my laptop using putty.
But I couldn’t find a command to open the js-file in some sort of editor. It was late anyway, so I decided to sleep over it and I will have another try this afternoon. -
I’ve got an Xpenology running so following this topic

@AnyKey Heh. I’ve been there.
First, you’ll need to be sure that theconfig.jsfile exists. A manual installation generally does not copy the sample file into the final destination, so you’ll need to do it yourself. From the MagicMirror folder,cp config/config.js.sample config/config.jsshould put the file in the proper place. At that point, it’s ready for editing.The Unix-like system that the Diskstation uses must have an editor of some form on there. If not nano, then VIM or VI. From the MagicMirror directory, you should be able to type
nano config/config.jsorvi config/config.jsand open up the config file.Absolute worst case scenario: you can copy & paste the config.js contents from your desktop machine to the file via PuTTY. Have the config file open on your desktop, select all, copy to clipboard. In the PuTTY window, navigate to the MagicMirror/config folder and enter
cat > config.jsand then press enter. At this point, everything you type will be in the file… so just right-click with your mouse to paste the clipboard into the file. When it finishes, hit enter one more time and thectrl+d(control D). That will save the contents. -
@bhepler The config.js didn’t existed after the install process, so I copied it, like you mentioned. The real stungle was to find an editor to open and edit the config file. Nano is not supported, that was the first (and only editor) editor I’ve tried. When I’m home, I will test your other suggestions.

@AnyKey any text editor will be able to read .js files.

according to the synology wiki:
ipkg update; ipkg install nano -
Ok, i managed to edit the config.js file to a full whitelist with nano. To install nano I had to do
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install nanoAfter that, I run “node serveronly” in the MagicMirror folder and I got the following log:

Maybe no internet connection? If you think this really is an issue, please open an issue on GitHub: https://gi thub.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issuesBut I don’t get a connection when opening “http://localhost:8080”.
At this point, I come to the conclusion, that it will be much easier and less stressful to run the MM Server on my Pi3 (managed to install and configure it at work in three hours less). Besides that, the ressources need for running a MM container seems to be very high, working with ne Synology while running MM is a pain in the ***.
From my point of view this topic can be closed. I’d like to thank everybody who participated and wanted to help me! You guys rock :-)
sincerely yours Andre -
@AnyKey said in MagicMirror Servermode on Synology DS:
EADDRINUSE
This usually means that you already have the MagicMirror running and you have attempted to start the server again. You’ll need to kill that process before starting it up.
Tryps ax | grep nodeand if you see the line9589 pts/1 Sl+ 0:03 node serveronlyor something similar, then the Mirror is already running.
sudo kill -9 9589(or whatever the process number listed is) will stop it.I’m sorry this has been so frustrating. You’re almost there.

@AnyKey try to change the port which is used by Magicmirror. The Diskstation seems to use port 8080 for something else.
