Update the mirror for the first time in six months, won't start now

sdetweil

@redink can I ask what device u are loading on? Pi 3?

in addition to what @Stoffbeuteluwe posted, I suggest you use my updater script from
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

upgrade-script.sh will do the git pull and npm install, and refresh npm setup for any modules that might need it
it should handle all the work… and give you a trial run of all that…

only applying changes if u request them

give it a try this works on Mac as well

bash -c "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/upgrade-script.sh)"

no changes are made to the local repo or the working copy

if you WANT to actually apply the changes do

bash -c "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/upgrade-script.sh)" apply

if you have already done the git pull, you will need to use force to get the script update the same version

bash -c "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/upgrade-script.sh)" force

there is a log file (upgrade.log) in the MagicMirror/installers folder…

Messed with it too much and broke something. Time for another fresh install.
Sigh…
Every time I update the mirror, something breaks.

@sdetweil, I’ll be trying your install script and update script from now on. Hopefully it will be a smoother experience that usual.

This is why I’ve never built a MagicMirror as a gift. I can barely maintain my own mirror.

@redink sorry, it is a delicate thing…

let us know how it goes

redink

Well, I managed to get it up and running, and the script you provided seems to be a lot less finicky that my last install process. However, one of my modules MMM-CalendarExt is currently not showing. Trying to troubleshoot this, but here’s the log in case anyone wants to help out.

@redink that log says MagicMirror can’t start

redink

Never mind, it’s too late, and my brain isn’t working.
I had the module commented out :(
Still, I am seeing those errors in my logs.

sdetweil

@redink it does not erase the prior logs

To do that pm2 flush
Then start again
