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 ?

[sdetweil]

@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 ?

[sdetweil]

@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

Hi. I am trying to implement it on my MM and get only get below header in the browser. I am trying to open it with this address http://raspberrypi:8080/modules/MMM-Config/review
The same happens if I open MM via IP address.

Did I miss something? I saw on page6 of this thread someone else had same problem but that solution didn’t help me.

Doing ctrl+shift+I and looking at console output I get this error:

[sdetweil]

@uros76 can u show me the config.js for the module?

does it show on the MM screen?

is your config.js address:“localhost”

if so, you can only access from the PI system itself (localhost means only apps INSIDE the pi can access that app)

[sdetweil]

@uros76 ok, can u send me config.js and the defaults.js from the MMM-Config folder…

have to rename them to .txt to add as attachments

via email…to my same userid at gmail…

[uros76]

@sdetweil yes the module shows on screen in form of QR code. That part works.
My basics from config file:

address: "0.0.0.0",
useHttps: false,  
port: 8080,
ipWhitelist: [],

[uros76]

@sdetweil ok will send you now…

[sdetweil]

@uros76 thanks… there was probably an error reported in the console where u do npm start (or pm2 logs if using pm2)

[sdetweil]

@uros76 posted a fix, sent email back

[uros76]

@sdetweil it works! Mega quick assistance. Tnx

[Fonzi03]

i too am getting the blank homescreen which only shows
“configure magic mirror and modules”

it wont let me upload the jsconfig or default config here how can i send them?

[sdetweil]

@fonzi03 send to my same userid at gmail. have to rename them to .txt instead of .js to attach to email
