      docker ps
      

      the status says “Up 3 days”. This is due to Watchtower I think as the container got updated.
      When this happens and the screen gets black, I do restart the client which continues to produce black screens.

      Here is the output of

      docker logs magicmirror
      

      I can only find one starting sequence.

      copy default modules to host ...
      rm: cannot remove '/opt/magic_mirror/modules/default/compliments': Device or resource busy
      copy css files to host ...

      start magicmirror

        then it’s no server problem, no idea why the client crashes. Is this new with mm version v2.18.0 (because it contains new electron version)?

              @karsten13 unless he is running mm client on the other machine, vs running chrome to the server

                I am running the client on a Raspberry Pi. There I do get the electron errors and the screen goes black.
                I think it might be in correlation with 2.18.0 of mm or with updating the containers with watchtower?!

                    Well by default the pi bootens up and MagicMirror shows in full screen mode until the screen goes black again after a couple of hours.
                    But I havent started a browser in full screen mode manually yet.

                      @codac right but u can do the start browser instead of start mm client.

                      just a way to test in the short term… if it stays running or not

                      if you use chromium u can get the command line from my run-start.sh script I use when electron is not available.

                        I think the client crashes when you update the container image because updating the container means it will be restarted.
