MMM Remote Control Error

[Chynovsky]

ok, the problem WAS on the local host and IP section. it worked after modifying just the commas you mentioned!
Any tips on fixing the ip address section?

“(3) For security reasons, the MagicMirror (and therefore the Remote Control) is not reachable externally. To change this, configure address, and ipWhitelist in your config.js (see these lines in the sample config). For example change address to 0.0.0.0 and add two allowed devices with IP-Adresses 192.168.0.42 and 192.168.0.50:”

@Chynovsky

ipWhitelist: [“127.0.0.1”, “::ffff:127.0.0.1”, “::1”, “::ffff:192.168.0.182”, “::ffff:192.168.0.171”],

the ipWHiteList controls which external machines can access the mirror

127.0.0.1 is only the mirror machine

and then u have two mangled ipV6 addresses
I would just start with anyone can access
ipWhitelist: []

I keep getting this error now: This device is not allowed to access your mirror.
Please check your config.js or config.js.sample to change this.

I do see “http://ip-of-your-mirror:8080/remote.html” though. so definitely progress.

FWIW, in the future,

Open a terminal
Type cd MagicMirror and press Enter
Now you’re in the MagicMirror directory
Type npm run config:check and press Enter
MagicMirror will now check your config
