        change the script that starts mm from

        npm start
        to
        npm run server

        a container has no desktop,
        npm start tries to load the graphical UI using electron.

        npm run server

        just starts the server side, for external browsers to access

        I can’t tell what that error is, but the internet has moved to https connections by default, and many browsers warn when accessing http sites like MagicMirror is running.

        so you either have to accept the warning, or find a way in the browser to disable to message

        https setup requires a certificate, which is not free.

                    @kusselin remember, a container is a ‘system’
                    with its own IP address different than than the container hosting system (typically 172.xx.yy.zz)

                    also, localhost means ONLY apps INSIDE this same ‘system’, can access… so that means a browser running IN the container… oops… not possible

                    SO, you have to change the MM config.js to allow apps OUTSIDE the container to access the MM app
                    and THEN on the container setup , map the container MM port to some host port … (so u can access from another pc, phone, tablet, outside the container hosting system )

                    address:“0.0.0.0”.
                    ipWhitelist:[],

                    you didn’t have to reinstall mm… one install runs three ways
                    full (ui on same ‘system’), npm start
                    server (ui on some OTHER system (have to change config) npm run server
                    client (just the UI part), npm run client

                        @kusselin yes, to help keep this organized for you

                        think of a container as a pi/nuc/laptop/extra machine with no display, running in text mode
                        and the only way to get to it is thru a proxy machine (your container host)

                        and then some other machine, laptop, phone, tablet that wants to display info…

                        so other machine, phone, tablet connects to proxy, who forwards request to pi, and returns response back.
                        the proxy doesnt DO anything but transport the info .
