@sdetweil said in Magic Mirror Mac Mini npm start:

if u used the installer, it should have setup a pm2 module to auto start mm in boot.
From your shell, can you try

I have used this installation description.

@sdetweil Now I have PM2 modules through this installation guide.
But when I restart the Mac Mini, MagicMirror does not start by itself.

@sdetweil
ok so?

[sdetweil]

@drx1984 I am sure the mm setup failed when it did the pm2 setup, as it is hard coded to user pi.

I think if you do

pm2 start ~/MagicMirror/installers/mm.sh
pm2 save

It will work on boot

@sdetweil did the mirror app start?

Yes starts, Now I try to restart the MacMini and see if Magic Mirror starts automatically

[drx1984]

@sdetweil pity MagicMirror does not start automatically after reboot

[drx1984]

Does anyone have Magic Mirror on the Mac Mini on the run???
How does she do that with the autostart??

@drx1984
Wait a second. After trial on my mac, I’ll post for you. (And I think pm2 could also be available with launchd)

[drx1984]

@Sean ok, that would be very nice

@drx1984
Ok. I found incredibly simple solution.

sudo pm2 startup darwin

That’s all. It is already served by pm2 since https://github.com/Unitech/pm2/pull/936
(It will take a few seconds until MM starts from bootup)

ok thanks the command: sudo pm2 startup darwin tonight test and report you.
Many Thanks

@Sean I just tried, unfortunately I get an error message. Do you know how I can solve this?
Thank you

Hmmm… For me it works.
Check ~/Library/LaunchAgents/directory whether exists or not.
You can save your xml (under Template) totarget path by manual then execute command list
