      Is there a tutorial somewhere that explains how to set up SSH so I can control/modify my MM from my Mac? Thanks.

        @blacter open the preferences/Raspberry PI configuration/interfaces tab on the pi top. left menu.

        check the ssh box,
        save and extra and restart your pi

          Thanks. I now can see the MM on my terminal. From there, how do I modify the config.js file?

            @blacter @sdetweil FYI: you can auto-enable ssh on a raspberry pi when setting it up by putting a blank file with the name “ssh” (no extension) into the boot partition.
            When you start the pi, it will find and remove the file and enable ssh.

              also, you are supposed to be able to have a ‘disk view’ over the remote ssh disk with

              I can’t get it to work on catalina 15.5 at the moment

                  it is the best way to run a pi headlessly. I never use the GUI.

                    @lavolp3 i don’t use the gui either after initial setup…

                    but u can’t run headless AND have MM on it… (unless in serveronly mode)

                    use ssh ans sftp file system over…
                    winscp and bitvise clients…

                      yeah you got me it’s not really headless.
                      I set up the pi on my laptop, start it and install the mirror via ssh already. So I don’t have to attach a keyboard to the pi.

                        @lavolp3 absolutely!.. I only use the actual pi keyboard/mouse when absolutely neccessary… got one of the little combo keyboard/mouse things. but still a pain
