Are you tired of editing config.js, or have trouble doing it, see my new module

We’re working hard. wanna help?

Where were you at the very beginning of development of this module? I don’t remember seeing you anywhere. You were probably off policing the forum. :-)

@mykle1 When it was under early development I was in the very VERY busy part of my job.

I’m a tax guy.

I’ve now added support for MMM-Config to the modules I’m working with actively.

Was rather easy, all things considered - if you write a module, I would strongly recommend working with MMM-Config, who knows where this will go!

hello i have a question, i am running MagiMirror ² in Docker on my Unraid Server, i have installed the module but cant open the config form site. do i need to make some special configurations because it runs in docker ?

@anima what is your config.js setting for address:

you would have to use the container IP address and port on the form url. because it it not mapped to the docker host port

anima

@sdetweil do you mean this https://imgur.com/a/jzi0Idj ?

@anima only needed the line with address:“0.0.0.0”

ok, so we need to find out the ip address of the MM container

docker ps

will give u a line like this

11e836525b8d   xxxyyyzzz   "/usr/bin/supervisord"   4 months ago   Up 3 weeks   0.0.0.0:82->81/tcp, :::82->81/tcp, 0.0.0.0:5901->5900/tcp, :::5901->5900/tcp, 0.0.0.0:8280->8080/tcp, :::8280->8080/tcp

the 1st token is the container id

then do this

docker inspect 11e836525b8d

and in the stream of info is

            "IPAddress": "172.17.0.2",

then use that from the system running the docker container

http://172.17.0.2:8300

to get that as one line of output, u can create this one line bash script

docker inspect $(docker ps -q | awk '{print $1}') | grep -m 1 '"IPAddress"' | awk -F\" '{print $4}'

you can’t use it from another system as there is no path to the container from outside

now, you could fix the startup of the MM container by adding

-p 8300:8300

to the docker run command
this map the container port 8300 to the host port 8300

then from your pc or non-docker-host machine

http://docker_host_ip:8300

should bring up the form

anima

@sdetweil ok thx, but then it should be better to run it from a pi (i have a spare one) because the container port is used by another service which i need.

sdetweil

@anima well, each container has its own set…

the code looks for a free port from 8300 - 8500… but in a container it will be fresh, so 8300

the code hard codes 8300, so you can’t map it to anything else

Hi. I am trying to implement it on my MM and get only get below header in the browser. I am trying to open it with this address http://raspberrypi:8080/modules/MMM-Config/review
The same happens if I open MM via IP address.

Did I miss something? I saw on page6 of this thread someone else had same problem but that solution didn’t help me.

Doing ctrl+shift+I and looking at console output I get this error:
