2nd MagicMirror

[Ray]

@sdetweil okay I think I understand. I will give it a try . I am going to make my new magic mirror in a couple of days
wanted feedback 1st before I start

I appreciate the response
I will let you know how it goes

[sdetweil]

@Ray my install and fixuppm2.sh scripts use the pm2_MagicMirror.json to give the app a good name
(instead of mm.sh)
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

pm2 status shows the names of the managed apps.

pm2 info (appname or number) give all the info about it

pm2 --help shows all it can do

@sdetweil okay I think I get it
so just to make sure my current magic mirror folder is called
I will be renaming that MagicMirror_1st_mirror
not shouldn’t hurt anything. It should start as normal

[sdetweil]

@Ray you don’t have to make a new folder, only a new config file

[Ray]

@sdetweil I am aware of that. now Sam, I did not know we could do all that.
In the future I will have 2 options now
But following your instructions that you gave me

I wanted to thank you very much for the help that you gave me
I followed your instructions that you gave me after several tries, I now have
2 MagicMirror folders one is labeled MagicMirror and the 2nd 1 I labeled
MagicMirror_First_Mirror
and both folders are now listed in pm2

│ 1 │ FirstMirror │ fork │ 0 │ stopped │ 0% │ 0b │

│ 0 │ MagicMirror │ fork │ 0 │ stopped │ 0% │ 0b

Thank you very much for your help.
I would be happy to post my procedures. for other beginners If you like.
Just let me know and I will post it here. It’s my way of giving back to this site for all the hard work everyone does

@Ray cool! glad you got it working

did u actually create two directories (folders) with Magic mirror installed ?

you didnt have to do that… just different start scripts using different config files

[Ray]

@sdetweil I understand that now, but I already made it
and it works perfectly. in the future I will have 2 choices now

The reason I was looking for something like this. I want to generate a separate mirror for testing. That way if it crashes I won’t have to worry about it because all files and folders will be separated from the 2nd mirror folder
the 2 separate magic mirrors will work perfectly for me. I will definitely consider your 2nd option. In the future

@Ray ok, understood
