[sdetweil]

@pi-user set env variable

export config=???

??? Is new filename, full path if not in config folder

export config

Where can I put export config? So, that means that I can take another configuration file if necessary?

[sdetweil]

@pi-user in the terminal window or script. If pm2 then in installers/mm.sh

mm.sh

I discovered that the file name is defined in the check_config.js file!

/opt/magic_mirror/tests/configs/check_config.js

function getConfigFile() {
// FIXME: This function should be in core. Do you want refactor me ;) ?, be good!
rootPath = path.resolve(__dirname + “/…/…/”);
var configFileName = path.resolve(rootPath + “/config/config.js”);
if (process.env.MM_CONFIG_FILE) {
configFileName = path.resolve(process.env.MM_CONFIG_FILE);
}
return configFileName;
}

@pi-user in electron.js is says process.env.config

I looked at it. But how can I edit this file so that another config file is read? Such as: configXYZ.js and not the standard name config.js

Thank you

[sdetweil]

@pi-user just copy the default config.sample.js to anyname.js

then edit that name and do

export config=anyname.js
npm start

if using pm2, then edit the installers/mm.sh file which what pm2 starts
and add the export= line
