@sdetweil
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:{
          }
},

@nowayto then you should be able to access the mmm-config urls

nowayto

@sdetweil

Exactly but I can’t access.
Now I’m trying give a whitelist complete access.

The only error I see is a GPU process error but I don’t think is connected to the web server.
