Does magicmirror need minimal X11 to run?

I try to run it in docker container with gui on my pi
which docker container?
the linked one starts MM in serveronly inside the container and then u use a browser on the outside of the container to access to exposed port.
there is a second docker solution that uses the fact that one can SEE and ACCESS the docker runtime and launches electron to push content out to the X11 gui… this is really cheating…
but there was a fix createdreplace the run-start.sh with this one from the next release

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/develop/run-start.shI changed run-start.sh file and now I get this error:

@lpt2007 graphical stuff not loaded in container.

I would look at this docker setup
https://gitlab.com/khassel/magicmirrorOtherwise run container in serveronly mode and use chrome on the pi to view the app.

I added needed graphical libraries, now I get this error:

@lpt2007 need more libraries.
I’d run serveronly in the container, and use chromium from outside the container

Thanks, but this is not an option, because I try to use mm as addon for Home Assistant and I use hassos image. The mm will be one of the systems I will use on rpi and I will call them trough ha when I need them.
Any idea what error I posted means?

yes, u need more libraries loaded into the container…
/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libdbus-1.so.3

@lpt2007 use the other docker image I posted a link to… it ‘supposedly’ works… but depends on a security breach in my opinion,
letting a container write directly to the docker host XWIndows -

i don’t really understand, as BOTH approaches will require some browser to be running ON the HASSOS image ALL THE TIME… (somewhere)

/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libdbus-1.so.3This library is already installed.

@lpt2007 said in Does magicmirror need minimal X11 to run?:
This library is already installed.
no version information available

@sdetweil said in Does magicmirror need minimal X11 to run?:
not the right one
I installed this one:
root@local-mm:/# apt install libdbus-1-3 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done libdbus-1-3 is already the newest version (1.10.28-0+deb9u1). 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. -
@lpt2007 i don’t know… the error says its not right.
I don’t know how to solve it…again, I would go look at that other docker container which does what you want (maybe)

Container with mm must connect to host display. I made something simmilar with kodi media center in docker container.

@lpt2007 ok, and why does chrome on the hassos not work?

Maybe I can try to made ha addon with chrome in kiosk mode to see where the problem is?

Scenario 2: Using docker on the raspberry pi and starting the magicmirror on the screen of the pi.
I will post results back.
Again without success :(
Error:
(electron:41): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: unix:0.0 -
@lpt2007 yeh, its a tricky, not really supported approach
I personally wouldn’t even try it
