Mirror display not showing changes made to config filedock

[Perkinje]

After making changes to the config file, like 12hr time format, adding modules etc. I restart MM and it’s as if no changes were made. It just displays the sample config. When I reopen the config file then changes are still there. I’ve even tried rebooting the whole pi with no luck. MM is running in a docker on a pi3.

@Perkinje
Did you rename the file to config.js?

[Perkinje]

yes, the filename is config.js. It shows the default display config without my changes.

[sdetweil]

@Perkinje do you have something at boot that copies config.js.sample to config.js? perhaps?

[Perkinje]

@sdetweil nope, and when I reopen the config.js file my changes are still there.

[sdetweil]

@Perkinje so, let’s check this again

the file used for running is

~/MagicMirror/config/config.js

[Perkinje]

@sdetweil Yes, it is. I don’t see how this is possible. I’ve checked the docker setup to confirm the location of the config/config.js and it is showing the file I’ve modified.

[sdetweil]

@Perkinje oh, docker… don’t know about that

[Perkinje]

I’ve given up docker. Runs fine with standard install. I’ll try docker with my next MM.
