MagicMirror install on proxmox LXC Container?

[sdetweil]

@kusselin well that becomes much more troublesome…

the container doesn’t have display, so u can’t force it there
also, server mode doesn’t know orientation of display system .

so this would typically be done on system w browser. full system in portrait or landscape.

I don’t know how you would do it just for one browser/tab…

[kusselin]

ahh o.k. with installation on a pi there is the config.txt in boot an there you van change the display_rotate =1

O.K: in Container is difficult. Its ok. then thanks

[sdetweil]

@kusselin if u are running container on pi, AND displaying on pi, then it’s the same. if u are running container on windows, displaying on pi, it’s the same.

if displaying on windows, then have to turn windows portrait mode

[kusselin]

@sdetweil said in MagicMirror install on proxmox LXC Container?:

if displaying on windows, then have to turn windows portrait mode

how is this going under win 10?

[kusselin]

but there is a problem…when i started the server in the container with “npm run server” with putty… and i shut down the laptop the server is not reachable anymore :-(

means if I then eb on the ipad the 192.168.200.74:8080 enter the mirror is not accessible :-(

I have to enter again in putty then “npm run server” and then it is there…I shut down the laptop the server is no longer accessible :-(

What can be the reason for this now?

pi@MagicMirror-live:~/MagicMirror$ npm run server

> magicmirror@2.21.0 server
> node ./serveronly

[kusselin]

Sam, can you help me? What stopped the Server when i closed the putty Software?

[wishmaster270]

@kusselin
Hi,

if your problem is only to keep the command running while/after you disconnected to the container you can use the “screen” command.
It you should be installed with Ubuntu already. If not you can install it with

sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y screen

You then start a new screen with

screen -S NAME

while NAME is simply an alias and could be something like “mm”.

After this you can start the mirror with

npm run server

And you can leave the screen with the keyboard combination

CRTL+ad

The screen then keeps running. If you want the resume to the screen you can use

screen -r NAME

[sdetweil]

@kusselin when u disconnect a terminal session any app still running is terminated…

u can spinit off in the background with & at the end of the command

npm run server &

[wishmaster270]

@sdetweil You are right in running apps with & in the background but if you disconnect the ssh session all background commands will be disconnected as well.
Either screen or a command like nohup needs to be used to keep the command running.

[sdetweil]

@wishmaster270 never had one disconnected w &
