      Hi all,
      I sucessfully setup a container from
      https://github.com/bastilimbach/docker-MagicMirror
      in server mode only.
      i put in my config, everything runs well.

      But: If i restart the container in portainer (click stop, click start), it starts, complains about config not to be found and restarts.
      If i take a look into my host data at /data/compose/mounts/config, everything is still there but log complains about not finding a config

      I have been running a MM installation on a raspberry pi for years, so it seems to be somehow container related. I am new to virtualization things, so please forgive my ignorance.

      Anyone any Ideas?
      Thank you in advance

        @sdetweil @karsten13 thanks a lot for your advice!
        finally, there was only one package missing

        npm install request
        

        did the job for me.

          @asdf303 that docker image is no longer supported, I suggest moving to the one from @karsten13

            @sdetweil thank you for your comment.
            Actually, my link above is wrong. My fault. Sorry.
            I am already using the image

            karsten13/magicmirror:latest.

            So, any further ideas?

                my project is documented here https://khassel.gitlab.io/magicmirror/

                I don’t know the portainer setup and for further investigation we need to see

                • full log
                • your docker-compose.yml or the docker run ... command
                • full config.js

                Please remove any secrets before publishing here.

                  @karsten13 Thank you for asking.
                  Please find all my stuff below

                  As mentioned above, it loads correctly and runs the configuration correctly on the first start.
                  Everything is fine.
                  But if the container is started/stopped in Portainer, it seems to not be able to find a correct config.js, as you can see in the log.

                  The only way to get it running is, i stop the container, remove the stack in Portainer, then navigate to /data/compose in the host system, manually delete all the data there (i use Winscp). Then i re-install everything (including e.g. the mmm-localtransport addon) acc. to the book, modify the config.js to what you can see below.

                  let config = {
                  	address: "0.0.0.0", 	// Address to listen on, can be:
                  	port: 8080,
                  	basePath: "/", 	// The URL path where MagicMirror² is hosted. If you are using a Reverse proxy
                  					// you must set the sub path here. basePath must end with a /
                  	//ipWhitelist: ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1", "192.168.178.1/24"], 	// Set [] to allow all IP addresses
                  	ipWhitelist: [], 	// Set [] to allow all IP addresses
                  
                  	useHttps: false, 		// Support HTTPS or not, default "false" will use HTTP
                  	httpsPrivateKey: "", 	// HTTPS private key path, only require when useHttps is true
                  	httpsCertificate: "", 	// HTTPS Certificate path, only require when useHttps is true
                  
                  	language: "de",
                  	locale: "en-US",
                  	logLevel: ["INFO", "LOG", "WARN", "ERROR"], // Add "DEBUG" for even more logging
                  	timeFormat: 24,
                  	units: "metric",
                  	// serverOnly:  true/false/"local" ,

                    must be something with the portainer setup.

                    What is strange is the order in the log file, I would expect the last lines beginning with copy default modules to host ... at the top.

                    One thing you can try is to change restart: unless-stopped to restart: never in the docker-compose.yml, may 2 containers are started when portainer stops the one running.

                        update: if the module: ‘MMM-LocalTransport’, module is disabled, it works.
                        Strange thing:

                        • the module works on my raspi electron installation.
                        • it does not in the container.
                          I will keep you updated.

                          this module is not really maintained, it relies on an outdated dependency (request) which was removed from mm core a long time ago.

                          If it runs on your pi the mm installation there is very old or you installed request manually. See this topic for more info.
