          @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 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

                how is this going under win 10?

                  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

                      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 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.

                                    Hi sam, unfortunately I have not yet understood why the server always stops when closing putty???

                                    With the command npm run server I start the server… why does the container stop again?

                                      @kusselin because that is the way it works. when the terminal window closes, any running app also is forced closed. it’s a security thing

                                      during development I would not close the window. after you are happy, I would make the container auto start mm as part of it’s startup.
                                      a containers design is to run ONE app.

                                      I do not know how I do this w lxc containers
                                      w docker, u add a property to the Dockerfile to tell what app to start

                                        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
                                        

                                        And what about this… yesterday i installed screen and i Type the Commander in putty and the Containers was already online…

                                        Now, After an reboot Nottingham is Gong :-(
