      @MarcLandis said in Are you tired of editing config.js, or have trouble doing it, see my new module:

      @sdetweil the command now works. Now I need to figure out why the socket.io connection isn’t working.

      Failed to load resource: net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
      

      Wrong URL :)

      All is working now. Thanks for the help.

              Any chance this is still being worked on? Read through this entire thread in hopes I’d be able to solve my problem without bugging (see what I did there?) you, but alas, I did not.

              Simply returning the “builder encountered a problem, see MagicMirror messages for info” when I navigate via the QR code.

              Would appreciate any help you might be able to supply.

              Thank you!

                  @sdetweil The only feedback it produces is:

                  [WARN] You're using a full whitelist configuration allow for all IPs

                    @SteakExpert are you using pm2?

                    if so, pm2 logs --lines=xxx

                    xxx is the most recent lines

                    there should be a lot more output

                              @SteakExpert we are looking for content in the MagicMirror runtime messages (from npm start ) that might look like this (forced an error just to get the content)

                                I am a noob at this, how do I set the port to use the browser and how do I show the QR code on my MM?

                                  @DarkV the default port is 8080

                                  you can edit in config.js and change the number, or change it in the form

                                  and in the MMM-Config config set showQR to true
                                  or change it in the form
                                  the doc mentions how to open the form directly in a browser

                                  note on the QR you MUST change config.js to support outside MagicMirror system access, per the doc

                                    @sdetweil said in Are you tired of editing config.js, or have trouble doing it, see my new module:

                                    config set showQR

                                    So, should I add “showQR = True” to the configj.s?
                                    As I said earlier, I do not have the skill of the format.

                                          @sdetweil Apologies for my lack of knowledge, but I didn’t fully understand your response about the URL. Please keep in mind that I’m not very experienced with coding.

                                            @DarkV it takes a little bit of info

                                            a url contains
                                            a protocol type secure(https) or not (http)
                                            a server name or address
                                            a port
                                            a path
                                            and optionally some parameters

                                            for MMM-Config

                                            just protocol, server, port and path

                                            on your local network, we dont need to build our everything for secure encrypted communications

                                            if the machine you are opening the browser on is the same machine as MagicMirror is running, then you can use localhost
                                            otherwise you need to know the MagicMirror server ip address or network name

                                            the port value comes from the MagicMirror config.js, default is 8080
                                            (if you dont see a port specified in a url, then the browser uses the default for the protocol, 80 or 443 not/secure, as appropriate)

                                            and then the path, for MMM-Config there are two :

                                            for configuration
                                            /configure
                                            and for module installation
                                            /installer

                                            http://ip:port/configure

                                            on the same machine, using defaults
                                            http://localhost:8080/configure
