How to display the mirror remotely?

[dazza120]

@bibi should just be the main config file, through up the file so we can see if you have missed anything, I take it that this isn’t showing via HDMI either?

[bibi]

@dazza120 well the aim was not to use another module as MMM-remote-control to be able to display the mirror on the phone for instance but i’ll give it a try when possible.

[dazza120]

@bibi the repository control needs that module to work this is mearly to update the modules use VNC to do everything else, but as said does it display the MM via Hdmi?

[bibi]

@dazza120 yes via hdmi it working perfectly fine. i just wanted to avoid switching on / off my monitor each time i do a change either in a module or custom.css. i wanted to have a easy way to refresh MM after a change was done and to see the results of those changes.

[dazza120]

@bibi yeah VNC is what you need, then a pm2 reastart mm in terminal from the VNC viewer

[bibi]

@dazza120 :relieved_face: but neither the restart or the start cmd will display the mirror as i expected… i have tightvncserver installed but maybe x11vnc is needed? idk this

[dazza120]

@bibi I just have the VNC from raspberry pi enabled, And VNC viewer with cloud so I can view or change stuff when I’m out and about

Why aren’t you just hitting the mirror with a web browser? The browser will render the mirror more-or-less exactly as it will be displayed. You won’t be able to use any module with a peripheral, such as a microphone or IP camera. But for layout, fonts and the like it will speed things up immeasurably.

Add your computer to the ipWhiteList and restart the mirror process. Point your browser at http://[mirror ip address]:8080

@bhepler thx for your confirmation!

[bibi]

for the ones who need to the same, here is how i updated my config file:

var config = {
        port: 8080,
        address: "0.0.0.0",
        ipWhitelist: [],

Thx to both for your help
