Are you tired of editing config.js, or have trouble doing it, see my new module

@mumblebaj u did change the symbolic names to actual, right?

machine_name
MM_port

right?

[sdetweil]

@mumblebaj windows should have worked

can u tell me what the url was?

when u configure mm for address:“0.0.0.0”
it’s not something I can connect to

so I get the machine hostname

I guess I need to figure out an IP address…

[mumblebaj]

@sdetweil The QR code gave me machine name. But I figured that could not be correct. When I used the review URL earlier it did not work, When I started my Ubuntu Instance now and tried review with this URL:
http://localhost:8080/modules/MMM-Config/review
it worked fine and resolved to the following:
http://localhost:8080/modules/MMM-Config/config.html?port=8300
which I guess is what you were referring to?

[sdetweil]

@mumblebaj yes but localhost will only work w browser inside same machine as mm

[sdetweil]

@mumblebaj typically dhcp addresses now register the hostname in the router DNS server.

@sdetweil I am using my cell phone connected to my wifi network. When I scan the code it sends me to

http://raspberrypi:8080/modules/MMM-Config/review

When I replace “raspberrypi” with the actual ip of the pi, it works.

[sdetweil]

@josh45631 yes
I ‘assumed’ that name will work… doesn’t…

will fix, thx

[sdetweil]

@josh45631 @mumblebaj do a git pull in the module folder, and then restart mm and try the qr image again

When I try to use your MMM-config I get this error…

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ ~/MagicMirror/modules
bash: /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules: No such file or directory

[sdetweil]

where is your MagicMirror installed?
