            Based on the directions you gave in this thread, the run-start.sh script won’t work. I didn’t take the time to look through the github content to see if this is covered there, but you have to do

            chmod +x run-start.sh
            

            Or the script won’t actually execute. Based on old habits, I was executing the chmod statement without even thinking about it. But, after downloading the newest script, I purposefully left it untouched and it wouldn’t run.

                I simply opened the github page, copied the link, and used wget to download it to the mirror. So, it’s entirely possible that the way I downloaded it was partly to blame. Figured I would mention it because I’m likely not the only one that might run into this, and at a minimum it could become a troubleshooting step if others run into issues.

                  @ember1205 thx. wget & curl won’t copy the execute permissions. when I install this on a pi 0 I chmod it to executable

                    You can’t make this stuff up…

                    Mirror has been running for a couple of hours now without crashing as it has been doing intermittently in the past. However, there is now a “pop up” on the screen stating that Chromium couldn’t be updated and that I’m missing out on features and fixes.

                    I found what might be a fix in the way of potentially “configuring” Chromium to ignore updates, but I won’t know if this truly works until probably tomorrow at the earliest.

                      I’m now about 2.5 days into two MM’s running without crashes using Chromium instead of Electron. I’ve also not seen a return of the pop up from Chromium about needing to be updated.

                      For those that might need to correct the update issue, here’ s what I did on my mirrors:

                      sudo touch /etc/chromium-browser/customizations/01-disable-update-check;echo CHROMIUM_FLAGS=\"\$\{CHROMIUM_FLAGS\} --check-for-update-interval=31536000\" | sudo tee /etc/chromium-browser/customizations/01-disable-update-check
