MagicMirror install on proxmox LXC Container?
-
change the script that starts mm from
npm start
to
npm run servera 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.

hi sdetweil, sorry my Linux knowledge is not good.
Can you explain me how to change the script udn where in the script?
Is my basic installation but with user “pi” so correct

best regards
P.S. when i put “http://localhost:8080” in the browser linie - it´s not going :-(

@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 -
@sdetweil what a fu…
now its running!!! Ohman!! yeahhhhhhh :-) thanks a lot…
o.k. i understand …in an lxc is not same as a pi with raspbia…because lxc is an container and has no graphic giu…then i have to start server (npm start server" right…
and i mut change the config as this here
address:“0.0.0.0”.
ipWhitelist:[], -
@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 . -
thanks sam…YOU ARE THE BEST :-)
