      @Gomalley pm2 runs a script,
      installers/mm.sh

      It should read

      cd /home/pi/MagicMirror
      ...etc
      

      Change it if not.

      Then

      pm2 restart 0

        I tried it but I do not think that it worked. My code before I touched it read

        cd ~/MagicMirror
        

        Now i tried two things both gave same output

        cd ~/home/pi/MagicMirror
        

        and

        cd /home/pi/MagicMirror
        

        It now says
        [PM2] Spawning PM2 daemon with pm2_home=/home/pi/.pm2
        [PM2] PM2 Successfully daemonized
        Use --update-env to update environment variables
        [PM2] Applying action restartProcessId on app [0](ids: [ ‘0’ ])
        [PM2] [ERROR] Process 0 not found

        In my mm.sh the file currently reads this:
        cd /home/pi/MagicMirror
        DISPLAY=:0 npm start

          And I tried restarting the pi and the “Booting up” MagicMirror2 showed but it never actually loaded.

              just did a fresh install of my magicmirror, because the sd card went corrupt.
              during the install procedure it somehwere asked me if i want to autostart MagicMirror.
              after that it started automatically after booting into the desktop first.
              When trying to use pm2, it shows me the process is already running, but it’s name is MagicMirror , not mm.
              MagicMirror version 2.8.0

                @Detto65 yes, the install script uses a json file to configure the pm2 process

                  When i do

                  pm2 list
                  

                  The "name, id, mode, status, cpu, and memory chart shows up. It is all in blue.
                  Below it, it says “use ‘pm2 show <id/name>~ to get more details about an app.’”

                  When i type in

                  pm2 start
                  

                  The same chart above displays along with a message saying
                  [PM2] [ERROR] File ecosystem.config.js is not found

                  What does this mean?

                    I am having the same problem: I did what was mentioned above and after the reboot it stll did not start automaticly. Running “pm2 list” after the reboot shows mm.sh is not runnning.

                      @Raksasas should be executing those while in the MagicMirror folder

                        Looking over the “Auto Start” page I do not see where it states that the pm2 commands are to be run while inside the MagicMirror folder.

                        With you stating that it seems to be saying that the “mm.sh” script needs to be ran from inside the “MagicMirror” too. Again the “Auto Start” page shows that it was created inside the ‘home’ (~) folder. So one would think/presume it can be ran from inside the “home” folder also.

                        Either way I will give it a go.

                          @Raksasas My mm.sh resides in my /pi/ folder and not in the MagicMirror folder so should work. It might be that there was an error while you were setting up pm2 or setting up the autostart perhaps?

                            @Raksasas it was the

                            pm2 start installers/mm.sh
                            

                            That needed to be done from the MagicMirror folder.

                            Cause I ‘ASSUMED’ if u were working on mm, you would always be in that folder.

                            installers folder is in mm, not in user home

                              Part 1:
                              @sdetweil

                              Just tried the

                              pm2 start installers/mm.sh
                              pm2 save
                              

                              From within the “MagicMirror” folder and no change. MagicMirror starts and at reboot it does not automaticly start

                              See below for my fix

                              Part 2:
                              @mumblebaj
                              This seems possible. So i re-ran

                              sudo npm install -g pm2
                              pm2 startup
                              

                              After running “pm2 startup” this time I noticed the following:

                              To setup the Startup Script, copy/paste the following command:
                              sudo env PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin /usr/lib/node_modules/pm2/bin/pm2 startup systemd -u pi --hp /home/pi
                              
                              

                              So I ran that and followed with the “pm2 start mm.sh” and “pm2 save”. Well now it is auto starting on reboot.
