There is a really nice installation guide from @KirAsh4 that will tell you every thing you need to know!

Hey together :)
I’m new and could install the software, but i can’t connect to the mirror per localhost for the admin tool.
Should i install apache2 and put the software to /var/www/html? Or can i run it without @ http://magicmirror?

Greets :)

@Dodo88 No, you usually don’t need to do those things, the mirror should run by itself, but you need to use port 8080.

Take care of the following:

• Go into your config.js and look for the “address” parameter. It needs to be
  address: "0.0.0.0",
• visit your mirror from your browser via: http://localhost:8080
  If it doesn’t work, try visiting your mirror from another computer using: http://magicmirror:8080
  -Report if it works :-)

Hey :)

No it doesn’t work :(

I get this error by trying “http://192.168.178.33:8080”

"Die Website ist nicht erreichbar192.168.178.33 hat die Verbindung abgelehnt.
Versuchen Sie Folgendes:

Verbindung prüfen
ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED"

Should i post my config.js?

there is no ‘admin’ tool on MagicMirror

also, localhost mean the machine I’m on. so if you are using a windows machine to connect to the mirror, and use localhost, that mean on the windows machine…

in addition to what @lavolp3 said, you also need to clear out the ipWhitelist to look like this

ipWhitelist: []

which means ‘allow anyone to connect’

@Dodo88 This is confusing me now.
if you are

• EITHER on the machine on which magicmirror is running on, you type:
  http://localhost:8080

• OR on another machine, then you type:
  http://192.168.178.33:8080 or http://magicmirror:8080

And you need to do what @sdetweil said.

http://magicmirror

what is that? none of my machines know where ‘magicmirror’ is located… (I have 6 different instances running, all installed from the same script)
