MagicMirror Failing on Raspberry Pi Zero W Rev 1.1

@davidgagne the log is empty cause the pm2 app name is used for file names

@sdetweil Hm. I do have a file
/.pm2/pm2.logthat’s filled with thousands of these:2024-08-04T00:35:12: PM2 log: App [MagicMirror:1] exited with code [1] via signal [SIGINT] 2024-08-04T00:35:13: PM2 log: App [MagicMirror:1] starting in -fork mode- 2024-08-04T00:35:13: PM2 log: App [MagicMirror:1] online 2024-08-04T00:35:19: PM2 log: App [MagicMirror:1] exited with code [1] via signal [SIGINT] 2024-08-04T00:35:19: PM2 log: App [MagicMirror:1] starting in -fork mode- 2024-08-04T00:35:19: PM2 log: App [MagicMirror:1] online 2024-08-04T00:35:25: PM2 log: App [MagicMirror:1] exited with code [1] via signal [SIGINT] 2024-08-04T00:35:25: PM2 log: App [MagicMirror:1] starting in -fork mode- 2024-08-04T00:35:25: PM2 log: App [MagicMirror:1] onlineThe last entry in that file is from 2024-08-04T21:22:04, which is around/about the last time I rebooted the Pi.
The tail of that log file looks like this:

/.pm2/logs/directory I haveMagicMirror-error.log,MagicMirror-out.log,pm2-error.log, andpm2-out.log.That last one appears to contain what I would have expected to see in the MM-out.log.
I am not opposed to flashing the drive and starting from scratch if you think I should.

@davidgagne I really have no idea where you are.
Flash the legacy image
Boot , don’t update
Run my install script -
@davidgagne The Pi Zero has 512KB memory, the default swapfile size setting is 100KB, and the swapfile is located on the SDcard which is not very fast.
I would suggest changing the swapfile size to 2048KB by editing /etc/dphys-swapfile and changing CONF_SWAPSIZE=100 to CONF_SWAPSIZE=2048.
You might consider moving from the SDcard to an SSD which will provide quicker data access and improved security against SDcard failure.
Lastly, you might consider changing from a Pi Zero to a Pi Zero 2 or something with more processing power. I use a Pi 3 Model A+ with a USB attached SSD and 2048GB swapfile size.

@butchkemper my install script increases the swap file size if its small (200meg or less).
-
@sdetweil @butchkemper I just checked that file and it has no CONF_SWAPSIZE variable.
There is a SWAPSIZE variable set to 1024.
Is there a chance that @sdetweil’s script misnamed that variable?

@butchkemper said in MagicMirror Failing on Raspberry Pi Zero W Rev 1.1:

If I connect an SSD via the data port and remove the SIM, will the 0 boot from the SSD? Or is there a way to configure the SIM to have it switch to the SSD or something?

@davidgagne pi 0 doesnt support boot from ssd/usb
you can make a hybrid, boot from read only sd , run from ssd
