      Hi,
      I try to reach my MM on serveronly mode.

      The command says : Ready to go! Please point your browser to: http://localhost:8080

      But when I go to http://localhost:8080

      the browser says: Not reachable
      ("Diese Website ist nicht erreichbar

      localhost hat die Verbindung abgelehnt.")

      What do I have to do?

      Thanks

        localhost will only work if you’re trying to access the site on the raspberry itself, on a diferent device you have to replace localhost with the ip of the raspberry

        Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

            Did you change the ip whitelist?

              @creye this feature is just available since two weeks and the device the magicmirror is running on is allowed by default

              Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

                I realize that this topic is about 2 months old, but I’m going to add some possible troubleshooting steps for anyone who may run into this problem. Hopefully OP already has this resolved.

                @Jeff while on RasPi terminal can you try to execute this command ping localhost? you should see output similar to this:

                $ ping localhost
                PING localhost (127.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
                64 bytes from localhost (127.0.0.1): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.253 ms
                64 bytes from localhost (127.0.0.1): icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.268 ms
                64 bytes from localhost (127.0.0.1): icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.257 ms
                ...
                ...
                

                as you can see hostname localhost resolves to ip address 127.0.0.1 which is very common. you can also try to enter http://127.0.0.1:8080 in your browser.

                if the above works and after node serveronly is running, can you please try to execute following command curl -I http://localhost:8080? your output should be similar to this:

                $ curl -I http://localhost:8080
                HTTP/1.1 200 OK
                X-Powered-By: Express
                Accept-Ranges: bytes
                Cache-Control: public, max-age=0

                Connection: keep-alive
                

                if it’s not double check your config.js to make sure your server is running on port 8080
