      Hello - I am trying to install MMM-remote control to have some control over my raspberry pi. My config file looks like:

      {
      			module: 'MMM-Remote-Control',
      			//position: 'top_bar',
      			config: {
      				        apiKey: "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
      			}
      		},
      

      And my header for the config file looks like:

      address: "localhost", 
      	port: 8080,
      	ipWhitelist: ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1", "::ffff:192.168.1.114"], 
      
      

      I do not get a control page when I go to 192.168.1.15:8080/remote.html (which is my IP for Pi) from my computer (which has .1.14 IP). Is there something I am missing? I have tried this with or without the api key, which I know is optional for basic functionality.

        @nakulbende said in Help with MMM-Remote control:

        address: “localhost”,
        port: 8080,
        ipWhitelist: [“127.0.0.1”, “::ffff:127.0.0.1”, “::1”, “::ffff:192.168.1.114”],

        this setup means ONLY apps INSIDE the pi can connect to the MagicMirror app

        so, change it to

        address: "0.0.0.0", 
        	port: 8080,
        	ipWhitelist: [], 
        

        that allows ANY system to connect

          As always, Sam - thanks so much! I did those changes, and it broke MMM-pi-hole which is stuck on loading. It also crashes magicmirror every 5 minutes or so. This happens even if I just change the address and allowed ip whitelist, comment out remote control and pistats. Any ideas?

            @nakulbende have no idea… all that does is say

            listen on all interfaces (ethernet, wireless, maybe pi-hole creates one?, in which case you would need to specifiy the address of the prefered interface, ethernet for example, or wifi… but JUST ONE)

            ipWhitelist:[] means allow anyone to connect on the interface and port

              I’d make Sam’s changes, but change the port number - something else could be grabbing the port for some reason.

              I use 60001.

                  port: 8080,
                  ipWhitelist: ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1", "::ffff:xxxxxxxxxxxxxx", "xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"],
                  

                  replace the xxxx with your ip address …thats it

                       xxxxxxxxxxxxxx:8080/remote.html 
                      

                      ip must be the same like in ip whitelist,
                      it must be the ip of you device you want (tablet or phone ore pc) for controlling your magic mirror

                            Hello all,

                            I changed my port - which seems like it might interfere. So, my config looks like:

                            address : '0.0.0.0',
                            	port: 60001,
                            	ipWhitelist: [],
                            
                            // Remote-Control
                            		{
                            			module: 'MMM-Remote-Control',
                            			//position: 'top_bar',
                            			config: {
                            				//showModuleApiMenu: true,
                                    //apiKey: "85237761aaf14513a6007e9989a465a3",
                            			}
                            		},
                            

                            Here is what the output look like:
