PM2 does not start the Magic Mirror

[Klinge]

I have the same problem.

I installed a fresh MM with pm2. The MM started. But after a reboot the MM does not start automatically.

Unfortunately I have no idea.

It would be grateful, if someone could help me.

Thank you in advance

I would suggest to both of you to follow the complete guide setting up pm2 and the autostart again. It doesn’t take long.

Besides that, what does

pm2 status

give you after reboot?

[Klinge]

pm2 status is

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ pm2 status

│ Name        │ id │ mode  │ status │ ↺      │ cpu │ memory 
│ MagicMirror │ 0  │ 2.6.0 │ fork   │ online │ 799 │ 0%     │ 16.8 MB   │

 Use `pm2 show <id|name>` to get more details about an app

and in pm2 log I get this every two seconds

pi@raspberrypi:~/.pm2 $ tail -f pm2.log
2019-02-15T15:36:47: PM2 log: App [MagicMirror:0] online
2019-02-15T15:36:48: PM2 log: App [MagicMirror:0] exited with code [1] via signal [SIGINT]

I tried the complete guide with creating an .sh-File and so on. But unfortenately with the same effect.

@klinge can you first do

pm2 stop all

and then

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start dev

Maybe you can see what happens there.
It seems that pm2 is running the magicmirror start script but MagicMirror won’t start

@lavolp3 starting it manually does work. but with PM2 not.

Thank you for your help.

But suddenly a miracle happened.

Tomorrow morning I switched on my monitor and the MM runs. And I did not do anything. And I really haven´t a intelligent reason.

Now, when I reboot the Raspberry, the MM starts automatically.

Thank you for your time.

MMM-TimeMachine? ;-)

I’m glad you got it working correctly. :thumbsup:

@klinge Yeah I hacked into your RasPi from here and fixed it … I will have done it next Thursday when I will have had some time.
Better change your password from standard “raspberry”.
