      I have created a MagicMirror on a RPi 3B+ and it is running but with some issues.

      I am working to clean up the PM2 error log which is filled with this message: “[14606:0606/134932.852666:ERROR:socket_posix.cc(93)] CreatePlatformSocket() failed: Address family not supported by protocol (97”

      Where should I begin looking for the problem?

      Thanks.

      Resistance is not Futile!
      It is voltage divided by current.

        Sam,

        I built a new SDcard for Raspios and installed MM using your scripts. Started MM and the problem did not occur.

        Next, I rebuilt the SSD with Raspios and installed MM. Started MM and the problem did not occur at startup and I waited while tailing the logs but nothing happened.

        Next, I move my MM configuration changes, modules, and updates to the SSD. The problem did not occur at startup or after tailing the logs for a time.

        I am declaring a victory for me. But we all know, in the end, that the computer demons won.

            Thank you for your response. I am delayed in responding because La Jefecita had other priorities for me that did not include my computers. :)

            I have a typo in the original post as the computer is a Raspberry Pi Model 3 A+ Rev 1.0

            The Raspios was built with the image:
            2023-05-03-raspios-bullseye-armhf.img.xz

            The output from the commands are:

            uname -a
            pi@MagicMirror:~$ uname -a
            Linux MagicMirror 6.1.21-v7+ #1642 SMP Mon Apr 3 17:20:52 BST 2023 armv7l GNU/Linux

            lsb_release -a
            No LSB modules are available.
            Distributor ID: Raspbian
            Description: Raspbian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)
            Release: 11
            Codename: bullseye

            node -v
            v16.20.0

            npm -v
            8.19.4

            I used the Manual Installation method as described in MagicMirror² Documentation Installation & Usage.

            Address value in ~/MagicMirror/config/config.js is localhost

            I have also included the config file below.

            Thank you for your assistance.

              @sdetweil said in New Setup - Log Filled with "CreatePlatformSocket() failed: Address family not supported by protocol (97)":

              @butchkemper can u tell me what OS instance you are running?

              output of
              lsb_release -a
              and
              uname -a

              and node -v, npm -v

              will help

              and how did you install MM? manual method or my automated scripts?

              also, can u tell me the address:
              value in ~/MagicMirror/config/config.js

              The OS was built using this image: 2023-05-03-raspios-bullseye-armhf.img.xz.

              The Raspberry Pi is a Model 3 A+ not a 3B+.

              The output of the commands you requested is:

              the address: value in ~/MagicMirror/config/config.js: localhost

              Installation was the Manual Method.

              Thank you for your help.

                Usually that error message happens on socket stream fails but could not know where it depends with only that log.

                My suggestion;
                Run only default modules; happens again?

                • If not, add 3rd party modules one by one and test each time. You might find the suspicious module.
                • If so, reinstall fresh MM; then try above method.

                Still happens even with fresh MM, update your OS and dependencies. And test again.

                The last method would be to format your sd card then reinstall OS itself. If still error happens; I have no way…

                Wish you a luck.

                    @butchkemper I installed with my automated script and all is working as expected. I added my MMM-Config module which uses socketio to the backend form and it works without problem…

                    as a test

                    rename your MagicMirror folder to some other name
                    and then run the automated install script… see

                      Sam,

                      I did a complete new MM install using your automated scripts and found the error message is still issued.

                      I found the error messages correlate to modules making network requests for data updates.

                      My next step is to build a SDcard and see what happens.

                      Thank you for your assistance.

                          Sam,

                          I built a new SDcard for Raspios and installed MM using your scripts. Started MM and the problem did not occur.

                          Next, I rebuilt the SSD with Raspios and installed MM. Started MM and the problem did not occur at startup and I waited while tailing the logs but nothing happened.

                          Next, I move my MM configuration changes, modules, and updates to the SSD. The problem did not occur at startup or after tailing the logs for a time.

                          I am declaring a victory for me. But we all know, in the end, that the computer demons won.
