            @andyc7687 Thank you for your work and sharing with the community!
            I would like to try it with a Raspberry Pi3A+. Will it work?

                @sdetweil Another question, how I can restart the mirror from the command line? Didn’t find that information.

                  @Dimasua if u said yes to pm2,

                  pm2 start 0

                  If it does not start on boot, the run the fixuppm2 script from my site,

                  If not pm2, then npm start from the MagicMirror folder

                    I’ve used quite some of these manuals before, most without succes cause after a few weeks they all seem to crash/freeze screen. Finally I have a setup that’s working:

                    • install raspian lite
                    • use this script to install MM: https://github.com/pureartisan/magic-mirror-raspbian-lite
                    • update npm with npm install -g electron --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root
                    • increase swap
                    sudo dphys-swapfile swapoff
                    sudo nano /etc/dphys-swapfile
                    CONF_SWAPSIZE=1024
                    sudo dphys-swapfile setup
                    sudo dphys-swapfile swapon
                    sudo reboot
                    
                    • adjust /boot/config.txt with the following settings for overclock:
                    arm_freq=1085
                    gpu_freq=530
                    over_voltage=8
                    sdram_freq=500
                    over_voltage_sdram=1
                    
                    • I also monitor the behaviour of the RPI’s performance in Home Assistant (in case it would crash, I have an indicator what went wrong) with: https://github.com/Sennevds/system_sensors

                    So far it -finally- works like a charm!
