Does magicmirror need minimal X11 to run?

[sdetweil]

I would look at this docker setup
https://gitlab.com/khassel/magicmirror

Otherwise run container in serveronly mode and use chrome on the pi to view the app.

@lpt2007 graphical stuff not loaded in container.

I added needed graphical libraries, now I get this error:

@lpt2007 need more libraries.

I’d run serveronly in the container, and use chromium from outside the container

Thanks, but this is not an option, because I try to use mm as addon for Home Assistant and I use hassos image. The mm will be one of the systems I will use on rpi and I will call them trough ha when I need them.

Any idea what error I posted means?

yes, u need more libraries loaded into the container…

/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libdbus-1.so.3

@lpt2007 use the other docker image I posted a link to… it ‘supposedly’ works… but depends on a security breach in my opinion,
letting a container write directly to the docker host XWIndows

i don’t really understand, as BOTH approaches will require some browser to be running ON the HASSOS image ALL THE TIME… (somewhere)
