Cant Start MMPM GUI

[A Former User]

Please do me and future askers a favor and dont tell them to use your script. Thats the second flash of the raspberrie now…

Your script basically makes it impossible to stop MM because it just restarts npm and PM2 as well as MM every single time you try to shut it down.

@Zar pm2’s job is to restart , you can always minimize MM (alt-spacebar, n) and then use pm2 to stop,
(alt-ctrl-t to open a terminal window)
or use an ssh ssession to the pi and pm2 stop…

or not accept pm2 during install … all kinds of ways to handle it…

alt-spacebar, n to minimize is the same as for Windows on any app.

New question about the GUI here:
I have 2 MM installations on 2 R3B+.
Both the same config. Both the same Raspian Buster.

On one, GUI is working as intended.
On the other, for a while now (worked before), I have to reinstall the MMPM GUI after every reboot with mmpm install --gui, then it works.
After a reboot -> 502 Bad gateway.
MMPM 2.05.

Anyone already came across this and has a solution available?

I have exactly the same problem: I can’t get MMPM get to autostart after reboot. Any ideas?

@Zar You could just issue a pm2 delete mm and then pm2 save which will get rid of pm2 restarting the mirror. The feature helps with crashes and restarts the mirror automatically.
The scripts from @sdetweil is awesome and has helped 100’s on the forum.

@mumblebaj none of my scripts address MMPM

@sdetweil Still don’t like the response he made to you about not advising people to use your scripts.
