      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.

            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…
