@Hugo said in Compatibility with raspberry Pi 5 right now and in the future.:
The latest version of MagicMirror requires at least a Raspberry Pi 2, 3, or 4
we have the Pi 5 in the docs too, see https://docs.magicmirror.builders/getting-started/requirements.html
@BKeyport said in Compatibility with raspberry Pi 5 right now and in the future.:
thing that is a concern really is the OS
next fun is coming, debian trixie is already released so it is a matter of time getting a new raspberry pi os wtih trixie …
-
@karsten13 No mention of our desktop enviroments in the main release, so I guess it’s up to RPF to what they’re gonna do.
-
@BKeyport I just installed on Trixie amd64, 2.32 and 2.33-develop no issues…
course this isn’t raspi… as its not released there yet

I want to upgrade my Magic Mirror from a Pi 3 to the new Pi 5 because my old one takes almost an hour to boot — it’s basically dead already.A lot of the modules I use don’t really get updates anymore.
Do you think I could run into serious problems if I reinstall all of them on the new Pi 5?When I set everything up last time, I had issues with almost every module because of Node.js versions and similar things.
I’m not a coder, so I’m not really able to tweak the modules myself to fix compatibility issues.
I have a unit with a 3B+ and I’m having much of the same issue. It seems to just hang and many modules are no longer updating.

@alex2 see my reply in your other post

@karsten13 @BKeyport and @Linas123 I have been running MM on trixie since Feb or April I think, No issues. Only issues I had was with the control of my monitor on and off via a scripts but I documented that and posted it in the forum as well.

@alex2 Could just need a refresh of the core - sometimes over many updates things will stick just because the OS, NPM, node.js and/or Magicmirror have updated so many times and they just get confused.
I generally rebuild my system with every major OS release that supports my PIs. Copy off the config files and start fresh.

@Hugo I been running magic mirror on pi5 since they released it.
