          very interesting. I’ve installed it, but I can’t access to webpanel.
          Tried with:
          http://IP:PORT/configure
          http://LOCALHOST:PORT/configure
          no access.
          tried with standard 8080 and another port chosen by me.
          computer IP is whitelisted, and clearly on same network.
          config check is OK

          ~/MagicMirror/config $ npm run config:check

          magicmirror@2.30.0 config:check
          node js/check_config.js

          Another little issues: sometimes I got black screen with cursor after “npm run start”
          I have to restart it in order to making it work

            @nowayto did you add my module to config.js

            {
                    module:"MMM-Config",
                    position:"....one_of the positions",
                     config:{
                      }
            },

              on the startup, can you show the output of
              npm run start

              also show output of
              free -m
