updated installer script available for testing
-
@sdetweil - Brand new Buster installation on a RPi 3B+. Installation script worked as expected.
I had trouble with pm2 on my existing mirror too. I ended up upgrading to the latest pm2 in order to get it to remember to start on boot.
At this point, I think your script is handling it properly. Thanks for the quick replies!
-
@bhepler oh, there is a script for just pm2 as well.
Thx for feedback.

Hey sam (@sdetweil ),
Thanks for this, made my life a lot easier.
So, I just did a new build with Buster on a RPI Zero W. All looked good and I have configured mm2 to start on reboot of the Pi. I am start/stop/restart and check the status of mm2 and is looks to be working, the mm2 logs are also good with no error logs.
The problem I am facing is that the magicMirror page via chromium seems to try and load (white screen which changes to a pure black screen) however seems to fail/crash and go back to the Raspbian desktop.
This happens when I reboot the pi and also when I manually try to start/restart the mm2 service.
Anything you think I am missing?
Thanks

@NathTheDude if u start the chromium browser from the desktop does it work?
-
U may need to increase the swap space. Pi 0 has very little memory.

Thanks @sdetweil , after a couple of reboots this is now working as expected. Not sure what the issue was, I will have to keep an eye on it. Thanks for the link on swap space, I will also look in that direction if I have any more of the same issues.
-
@NathTheDude ok… let me know if there are any other issues…
-
@sdetweil this installer script is now the script in 2.10…
I will close/lock this topic in a couple days

Should I install electron with --arch=armv7l ?
-
@jorgnyg Yea guess so. Installation fails on rpi zero. So I deleted the electron folder from node_modules, and ran npm install --arch=armv7l electron@3.0.13
