      Good day, Ladies and Gentlemen,

      Following instructions at https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror and https://github.com/bastilimbach/docker-MagicMirror.

      The following steps has been done:

      1. Downloaded and flashed to SD card latest clean Raspbian Stretch with desktop (kernel version 4.14) from raspberry.org.
      2. Connected Raspberry to WiFi network.
      3. Installed Docker by executing
      curl -sSL https://get.docker.com | sh
      1. Get Docker autostart
      sudo systemctl enable docker
      1. added member to docker’s group
      sudo usermod -aG docker pi
      1. Reboot system to changes take place
      sudo reboot
      1. Downloaded container with magicmirror for raspberry
      docker pull bastilimbach/docker-magicmirror:raspberry
      1. Executed container start according to instructions at MM docker page:
      docker run  -d \
	--publish 80:8080 \
	--restart always \
	--volume ~/magic_mirror/config:/opt/magic_mirror/config \
	--volume ~/magic_mirror/modules:/opt/magic_mirror/modules \
	--name magic_mirror \
	bastilimbach/docker-magicmirror:raspberry
      1. Created config.js file in “/home/pi/magic_mirror/config”
      sudo nano config.js

      1. Edited config.js in “/home/pi/magic_mirror/config” to the following lines:

            var config = {
    	address: "0.0.0.0", // Address to listen on, can be:
    	                      // - "localhost", "127.0.0.1", "::1" to listen on loopback interface
    	                      // - another specific IPv4/6 to listen on a specific interface
    	                      // - "", "0.0.0.0", "::" to listen on any interface
    	                      // Default, when address config is left out, is "localhost"
    	port: 8080,
    	ipWhitelist: [], // Set [] to allow all IP addresses
    	                                                       // or add a specific IPv4 of 192.168.1.5 :
    	                                                       // ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1", "::ffff:192.168.1.5"],
    	                                                       // or IPv4 range of 192.168.3.0 --> 192.168.3.15 use CIDR format :
    	                                                       // ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1", "::ffff:192.168.3.0/28"],
    if (typeof module !== "undefined") { module.exports = config; }
    
    	language: "en",
    	timeFormat: 24,
    	units: "metric",
    
    	modules: [
    		{
    			module: "alert",
    		},
    		{
    			module: "updatenotification",
    			position: "top_bar"
    		},
    		{
    			module: "clock",
    			position: "top_left"
    		},
    		// OTHER MODULES CONFIGURATIONS DELETED HERE FOR SIMPLICITY
    	]
    
    };
    
    /*************** DO NOT EDIT THE LINE BELOW ***************/
    if (typeof module !== "undefined") {module.exports = config;}

      2. Reboot the system

      sudo reboot
      1. Checked IP addresses

      1. Tried to connect by a local Chromium to the MM server by entering the following addresses into browser’s address line:
      127.0.0.1:8080
localhost:8080
127.0.0.1:80
localhost:80

      Got in browser:

      This site can’t be reached The connection was reset. ERR_CONNECTION_RESET
      1. Tried to connect from phone which is connected to the same WiFi network via browser by enetring to the Browser’s address line:
      192.168.43.78:8080
192.168.43.78:80

      Result is the same,

      This site can’t be reached The connection was reset. ERR_CONNECTION_RESET

        @Serge said in MM Server Mode in Docker on Raspberry:

        docker run -d
        –publish 80:8080 \

        is the container running?
        do

          docker ps

        because the docker run did

        docker run  -d \
	--publish 80:8080 \

        the way to access is thru port 80 on the host machine…
        (no other app is trying to use port 80 already, right?, webserver)

        also,
        typically --volume doesn’t like relative file system links

        --volume ~/magic_mirror/config

          thanx. I have put into container RUN command direct links

          --volume /home/pi/magic_mirror/config

          instead of relative ones

          --volume ~/magic_mirror/config

          So the RUN command looked like:

          docker run  -d \
--publish 80:8080 \
--restart always \
--volume /home/pi/magic_mirror/config:/opt/magic_mirror/config \
--volume /home/pi/magic_mirror/modules:/opt/magic_mirror/modules \
--name magic_mirror \
bastilimbach/docker-magicmirror:raspberry

          I also changed config, as I understood I should wrote port 80 there, so m,y config.js is the following:

          var config = {
    	address: "0.0.0.0", // Address to listen on, can be:
    	                      // - "localhost", "127.0.0.1", "::1" to listen on loopback interface
    	                      // - another specific IPv4/6 to listen on a specific interface
    	                      // - "", "0.0.0.0", "::" to listen on any interface
    	                      // Default, when address config is left out, is "localhost"
    	port: 80,
    	ipWhitelist: [], // Set [] to allow all IP addresses
    	                                                       // or add a specific IPv4 of 192.168.1.5 :
    	                                                       // ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1", "::ffff:192.168.1.5"],
    	                                                       // or IPv4 range of 192.168.3.0 --> 192.168.3.15 use CIDR format :
    	                                                       // ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1", "::ffff:192.168.3.0/28"],
    if (typeof module !== "undefined") { module.exports = config; }
    
    	language: "en",
    	timeFormat: 24,
    	units: "metric",
    
    	modules: [
    		{
    			module: "alert",
    		},
    		{
    			module: "updatenotification",
    			position: "top_bar"
    		},
    		{
    			module: "clock",
    			position: "top_left"
    		},
    		// OTHER MODULES CONFIGURATIONS DELETED HERE FOR SIMPLICITY
    	]
    
    };
    
    /*************** DO NOT EDIT THE LINE BELOW ***************/
    if (typeof module !== "undefined") {module.exports = config;}

          I have did once more all the steps

          This site can’t be reached 127.0.0.1 refused to connect.
Try: Checking the connection, Checking the proxy and the firewall

          So the errors are different (connection is reset and refused, respectively).
          What else should I check , @sdetweil could you please advice me?

            @Serge ok, so you changed the magicmirror config to use port 80 inside the container
            your run command -p should be

            -p host_port:container_port
so
-p 80:80

            requests to the host port 80 are forwarded to the container port 80

            to make sure that MM in the container is working

            do

            docker inspect 37638fe6e1d0 | grep -i -m 1 \"ipaddress
