    Thanks for your time @sdetweil :)

    I will first try docker container from link you posted before. One of scenario is about:

    Scenario 2: Using docker on the raspberry pi and starting the magicmirror on the screen of the pi.
    

    I will post results back.

        I personally wouldn’t even try it

          Maybe the problem is host os, not a container?

            Problem is host os. I downloaded latest raspbian buster image and followed guide from the link. Works like charm in docker container and display picture to host hdmi.

              @lpt2007 now, if you go back to the 1st docker image, and then open a browser on the host connecting to

              http://docker_container_ip:exposed_port
              

              you will get the same results…
