      Hey everybody!
      Total noob here.

      I’m trying to find out if there is a working method for installing MM2 as an add-on in Hass.io.

      I want to be clear : I am not looking for a Magic Mirror Module. I am looking for a way to install the MM2 server on my HomeAssistant instance and load the MM2 front end onto my rpi zero w as a webpage.

      Is this possible? I found a repository that seemed to have worked at one point but it’s currently locked. https://github.com/hassio-addons/addon-magicmirror

        Me too 🙂

        Though I haven’t thought through it as well as @Moriarte yet.
        Can I run MM2 & Hass.io on the same RPi at the same time?

              @sdetweil - what does it mean to ‘fork’ it?

                @gkchimz on github, top right is a button called fork

                means make a connected copy

                now you can change yours all u want… and IF you have something u want to contribute back, you create a PULL request , for the author to PULL your changes into their master copy…

                  @moriarte You can but what I did is install it on the same server as HA and run it on its own. I did that so I can run HA and MM which I can then display either or on my bathroom mirror. 😉

                  I didn’t want MM running with HA, I wanted them independent of each other.

                    @cowboysdude Do you have a way of toggling between HA and MM?

                      @dmolony I running both on Brave Browser so at the moment I have tabs set up one for each and when I want to look I change out of full screen mode and look.

                      Yes I know, NOT very practical but it does work for me because my MM install really isn’t made to be seen other then the other mirrors I have set up in my house and the ‘server’ is really for HA as it’s a 32" touch screen.

                      I just have it installed that way because my ‘server’ is a mini-ITX that runs a real CPU and 8 gigs of ram 🙂 Some of my modules for MM cannot run on a pi as to get my data it’s very taxing soooooooo… a mini ITX it is 🙂

                        @cowboysdude Cool. 32" HA touch dashboard sounds awesome!
