Where were you at the very beginning of development of this module? I don’t remember seeing you anywhere. You were probably off policing the forum. :-)

@mykle1 When it was under early development I was in the very VERY busy part of my job.

I’m a tax guy.

I’ve now added support for MMM-Config to the modules I’m working with actively.

Was rather easy, all things considered - if you write a module, I would strongly recommend working with MMM-Config, who knows where this will go!

hello i have a question, i am running MagiMirror ² in Docker on my Unraid Server, i have installed the module but cant open the config form site. do i need to make some special configurations because it runs in docker ?

@anima what is your config.js setting for address:

you would have to use the container IP address and port on the form url. because it it not mapped to the docker host port

anima

@sdetweil do you mean this https://imgur.com/a/jzi0Idj ?

@anima only needed the line with address:“0.0.0.0”

ok, so we need to find out the ip address of the MM container

docker ps

will give u a line like this

11e836525b8d   xxxyyyzzz   "/usr/bin/supervisord"   4 months ago   Up 3 weeks   0.0.0.0:82->81/tcp, :::82->81/tcp, 0.0.0.0:5901->5900/tcp, :::5901->5900/tcp, 0.0.0.0:8280->8080/tcp, :::8280->8080/tcp

the 1st token is the container id

then do this

docker inspect 11e836525b8d

and in the stream of info is

            "IPAddress": "172.17.0.2",

then use that from the system running the docker container

http://172.17.0.2:8300

to get that as one line of output, u can create this one line bash script

docker inspect $(docker ps -q | awk '{print $1}') | grep -m 1 '"IPAddress"' | awk -F\" '{print $4}'

you can’t use it from another system as there is no path to the container from outside

now, you could fix the startup of the MM container by adding

-p 8300:8300

to the docker run command
this map the container port 8300 to the host port 8300

then from your pc or non-docker-host machine

http://docker_host_ip:8300

should bring up the form

anima

@sdetweil ok thx, but then it should be better to run it from a pi (i have a spare one) because the container port is used by another service which i need.

sdetweil

@anima well, each container has its own set…

the code looks for a free port from 8300 - 8500… but in a container it will be fresh, so 8300

the code hard codes 8300, so you can’t map it to anything else
