[MMRIZE]

F5.
But some complex/heavy modules might not work .

[sdetweil]

@MMRIZE or ctrl-r

but neither reload the node_helpers

@sdetweil

i just have a connection with ssh.

[sdetweil]

@fischi87 yes the two keystrokes only work on the mm web page

I don’t know is mmos documents how to reload the container. we don’t support that here.

@fischi87
You don’t have to “reboot”, connect MM then stop the “pm2” or whatever process manager you use.

If you are using pm2, try this. I have not used it but may work for you.

@MMRIZE

like i wrote i installed the magicmirroros and there is no pm2. i dont know what start the magicmirror after boot in the os. somebody know what start the magicmirror software?

[sdetweil]

@fischi87 mmos uses a docker container to run MagicMirror. the mm files are on the OS file system and mounted into the container

so you would need to restart the container

docker container restart ????id???? 

see
https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/restart/

you would need to do

docker container ls

to list the containers to get it’s id to use in the restart command

@fischi87

out of my head (untested):

cd ~/magicmirror/run
docker-compose up -d --force-recreate

@sdetweil
