Change to Server only

Pijwarren

I have set up MM on an RPi4 and got my modules all up and running the way I want, but im wondering how can I switch this to be a server only set up?
I installed using the curl install script, and every time I try and close the browser kiosk it reopens a few seconds later. Tried setting serverOnly to true in the config.js but it doesnt seem to have any effect. I’m guessing its because of pm2 but I’m a bit lost on how to stop this from happening. Please help :)

@Pijwarren the serverOnly config setup was removed when they took out the run-start.sh
you can add it back… by downloading the script from here https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

cd ~/MagicMirror
curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/run-start.sh >run-start.sh

make sure its executable

chmod +x ./run-start.sh

then edit the package.json and change the start script from

    "start": "DISPLAY=\"${DISPLAY:=:0}\" ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron

to

"start":"./run-start.sh",

but the restart is because of pm2… its job is to keep MM running…

so, open a command prompt and type

pm2 stop 0

once u use the run-start.sh script, u can change modes in config.js and still keep the pm2 auto running

if u want to do it manually , you will have to do

cd ~/MagicMirror
node serveronly

I built up run-start.sh to help make it easier for everyone to get their system up and running
and provide this configuration capability, but the project didn’t want the responsibility to maintain
the install, upgrade and run-start scripts

@sdetweil Cheers for the quick reply, I’ll have a run at the in the morning!

@Pijwarren cool… I should add that they added a new run script to do this too

npm run server
