      Cool. I found MM about 3 years ago. No coding experience at all. Captivated by both now. Made some friends. Trying to learn every day. :-)

          I’ve installed MM2 on a new RCA Cambio. This little, cheap ($75) Windows 10 laptop (with a detachable screen that turns into a tablet) is meant to be an information MM2 in the kitchen. I got it up and running fine (following steps provided here), but I’d like to be able to run it remotely (e.g. when just the tablet is sitting in the kitchen). I can SSH to it using Git Bash and I see the start.sh script steps completing, but nothing ever happens on the tablet’s screen. It stays on the Windows 10 desktop. It starts fine using its own keyboard. I’m just wondering where I should look for a solution to this problem. Any ideas??? Thanks!

            @dwburger the start script on windows needs to be changed

            in package.json
            change this

              "scripts": {
                "start": "./run-start",
            

            to this

              "scripts": {
                "start": "node_modules/.bin/electron",

                  @sdetweil If u want to SEE/view it on the tablet (which might have a browser)

                  in the base system config.js

                  address:"0.0.0.0",
                  ipWhitelist:[]
                  

                  then open the tablet browser to the ip of the base and port

                  http://ip_address:8080

                    @sdetweil Yes, it’s a Windows 10 laptop with a detachable screen that becomes a tablet basically.
                    “Runs fine” = On the laptop, using Git Bash, I can start the MM2 normally with “npm start”.
                    “Run it remotely” = The MM2 running on the tablet part of the laptop will sit in the kitchen (no keyboard or mouse). I want to manage it from my desktop in my office using Git Bash ssh connection.

                    The laptop came with Edge, but I’ve been using Chrome.

                    http://192.168.1.65:8080 fails

                    http://localhost:8080 works
