      @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?

          @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)

                  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.

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

                            Thanks for your time @sdetweil :)

                            I will first try docker container from link you posted before. One of scenario is about:

                            Scenario 2: Using docker on the raspberry pi and starting the magicmirror on the screen of the pi.
                            

                            I will post results back.

                                @lpt2007 yeh, its a tricky, not really supported approach
                                I personally wouldn’t even try it

                                  Maybe the problem is host os, not a container?

                                    Problem is host os. I downloaded latest raspbian buster image and followed guide from the link. Works like charm in docker container and display picture to host hdmi.

                                      @lpt2007 now, if you go back to the 1st docker image, and then open a browser on the host connecting to

                                      http://docker_container_ip:exposed_port
                                      

                                      you will get the same results…
