my script turns off the need to run in sudo mode

we should never run mm in sudo, or install w sudo

@traustisig also, there is a new upgrade script in next release…

see https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/10859/new-update-upgrade-script-ready-for-testing

to use it now

Hey Guys!

i did it as described with the mm script here: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/wiki/Auto-Starting-MagicMirror

thank you for all your replies!

Hallo 🙂

I know it’s not how it’s supposed to be but I use a Pi Zero running Stretch lite. I start the Mm using „node /serveronly“ in a .sh script and launch chromium afterwards.

Typing in these commands works perfectly fine. Everything takes some time to boot, but then, it just works.

To start it after bootup, I use Pm2. It takes some time but it works. The problem is: the Pi‘s CPU is at 100 % all the time since node /serveronly runs 4 times and each needs between 15 and 20 %.

How can I fix that? Any idea?

How would I do that??
Sorry again I’m quite new at this…

Hey I am getting an error when trying to configure the PM2 autostart. I ran the command they give:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo env PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin / usr/lib/node_modules/pm2/bin/pm2 startup systemd -u pi --hp /home/pi

Then it runs and I run the chmod script then when I try to run
pm2 start mm.sh

I get

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ pm2 start mm.sh events.js:160 throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event ^ Error: connect EACCES /home/pi/.pm2/rpc.sock at Object.exports._errnoException (util.js:1022:11) at exports._exceptionWithHostPort (util.js:1045:20) at PipeConnectWrap.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (net.js:1087:14)

Any suggestions?

@lysnikolaou Welcome to the world of MagicMirror² 🙂

Regarding the ‘keyboard and mouse’ part in your post … I use a wireless set. So the rPi is mounted behind the monitor and only has 2 wires on it: power and HDMI. There’s a USB dongle plugged in that’s for the keyboard and mouse which I rarely use. Specially since I log in remotely. The only time I need the mouse or keyboard is if something bad happened and the rPi won’t boot up normally. But other than that, not needed.
