    @lpt2007 said in Does magicmirror need minimal X11 to run?:

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

    I will post results back.

    Again without success :(

    Error:
    (electron:41): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: unix:0.0

        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…
