how to use serveronly on a Raspberry Pi Zero W

prepare your raspberry

sudo raspi-config

Localisation Options -> Change Locale -> Change Timezone etc
Boot Options -> B1 Desktop/CLI -> B2 Console Autologin
Advanced Options -> Expand Filesystem

Finish = reboot

Update your raspberry

sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade

Install packages

sudo apt-get install git
sudo apt-get install xinit xserver-xorg
sudo apt-get install unclutter

Install Node

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/grayda/node-pi-zero/master/install-node-v6.14.3.sh -O /tmp/install-node-v6.14.3.sh && source /tmp/install-node-v6.14.3.sh

cd ~

Install Cromium

sudo apt-get install chromium-browser

Install MagicMirror

git clone https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror
cd ~/MagicMirror
npm install
cp config/config.js.sample config/config.js

cd ~

Auto Starting MagicMirror

sudo nano /home/pi/startMirror.sh

enter the following

#! /bin/bash
cd /home/pi/MagicMirror
node serveronly

Control + X > Y > Return

sudo chmod a+x /home/pi/startMirror.sh

Auto Starting Chromium

sudo nano ~/.config/autostart/autoChromium.desktop

enter the following

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8

Exec=/usr/bin/chromium-browser --noerrdialogs --disable-session-crashed-bubble --disable-infobars --kiosk --incognito http://localhost:8080

you need a Location ID from OpenWeatherMap, as described here
