it is the best way to run a pi headlessly. I never use the GUI.
-
@lavolp3 i don’t use the gui either after initial setup…
but u can’t run headless AND have MM on it… (unless in serveronly mode)
use ssh ans sftp file system over…
winscp and bitvise clients… -

yeah you got me it’s not really headless.
I set up the pi on my laptop, start it and install the mirror via ssh already. So I don’t have to attach a keyboard to the pi. -
@lavolp3 absolutely!.. I only use the actual pi keyboard/mouse when absolutely neccessary… got one of the little combo keyboard/mouse things. but still a pain

Okay, I’m connected to the MagicMirror on my Mac’s terminal. Is there a way I can now open the config.js file in a text editor on my Mac?
-
@blacter if u install those other components then you open a sshfs session to have a file browser over the pi disk, then yes,
short of that u have to use the editor ON the pi… text mode

@sojourner Thanks for suggesting this, I am now using it and it makes remote code editing a breeze.
For those wishing to use it, after installing VS Code read this article to enable remote editing.

Thanks again.

There’s also lots of other ways to get remote access to the Pi so you can edit with normal editors and save there.
SAMBA (easy, IMO), or other tools to create a share… Just search and ye shall find.
