        @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

                so, that looks like the address/ipWhitelist setting above…
                (by default MM thinks it is in a closed box on the wall, so only allows connections from INSIDE the box)

                    but I don’t understand this…

                    with the change to the start script, it runs in windows without bash… just regular windows batch
                    (cmd/powershell)

                        also, don’t know what this means… manage… it doesn’t NEED to run MM at all… just display it.

                        u could have two instances running on the base machine… 2 different ports…
                        the tablet accesses port(8081) , the base another (8080)

                        run the tablet instance as serveronly then no ui memory consumption on the base for that instance

                        to make a second copy from the first, just copy the MM folder to MM1, and change the config for port (and address/whitelist above)

                        then do npm serveronly for the tablet mm
