How to start

I’m new and could install the software, but i can’t connect to the mirror per localhost for the admin tool.

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.

@lavolp3 said in How to start:

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)

@sdetweil Guess you’re right. Thanks for highlighting. I may have changed the hostname manually at my main mirror

@lavolp3 but thank you… this got me thinking about my network… and sure enough the linux boxes added their names to the name server in the router… SO, I can use names instead of numbers…

My google wifi router does this better than my old TPLink router did…

hey, after i cleared the whitelist and reboot the rpi, it works :) Thx you all =)

The “Admin Tool” i ment was the module “MMM-Admin-Interface”

now booth works :)

Thanks a lot!! =)
