      @sdetweil bonus, with a bit of trickery, I’ve got that directory backing up as needed to GitHub under a private git. 😃

      The "E" in "Javascript" stands for "Easy"

        For example if you use this for SSH:
        https://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/

        …you can edit config files etc. on another machine and when you save it asks if you want to upload back to rpi.

          Thx all - lots of interesting suggestions to play around with.

          I detached the 7" screen from the RPI and now mm won’t start.

          0|mm       | (electron:30477): Gtk-WARNING **: 06:02:18.928: cannot open display: :0
          0|mm       | npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
          0|mm       | npm ERR! errno 1
          0|mm       | npm ERR! magicmirror@2.13.0 start: `DISPLAY="${DISPLAY:=:0}" ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js`
          0|mm       | npm ERR! Exit status 1
          0|mm       | npm ERR!
          0|mm       | npm ERR! Failed at the magicmirror@2.13.0 start script.
          0|mm       | npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.
          0|mm       |
          0|mm       | npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
          0|mm       | npm ERR!     /home/pi/.npm/_logs/2020-10-24T10_02_18_961Z-debug.log
          

          Is this something about having to start the magicmirror in server mode?

            google to the rescue … must remember to google the actual error message and not what you think the problem is.

            I googled “rpi magic mirror cannot open display” and it displayed some posts about this very issue … one of them contained this suggestion …

            Ok, there might be a problem with your electron installation.
            Can you go into your MagicMirror folder and type “node serveronly”?
            
            Then, go back to your browser window and type in “localhost:8080”
            

            Jump over to the mm folder, mistype ‘note serveronly’ and then ‘node serveronly’ … and my mm is back :)

            how to I make node serveronly permanent? Embed it in the mm.sh start script?

            Edit: answer: that worked on reboot.

            mm.sh now contains …

            cd ./MagicMirror
            DISPLAY=:0 npm start
            node serveronly

              I’ve installed samba file sharing on my pi and managed to connect via my win10 machine … so now I can do away with the complicated method I was using to update sh files.

                @ruff-hi if you turn on SSH on your pi, and then use WinScp or bitvise ssh clients, they give you a terminal window AND a filemanager view over the pi files… so you just click to edit, and both support drag/drop in both directions

                  I have been playing with the AfterShip module and really liking this. The mm on my desktop screen reminds me of rainmeter … passive information display.
