@PierreGode
Hi there,
I’m loving the idea behind this module.
But, I can’t work out how to open the admin interface??
I’ve tried the ip address that I’m using to remote into the raspberry pi, but it’s not working? I’m trying using tigervnc on a mac, do I need to physically do it on the raspberry pi? I thought I could do it whilst on the same network?
Any ideas at all?
Just keeps saying can’t connect to the server…
Thanks heaps,

Mischa

@mischag – Are you using the port described in the documentation [5003]?

See:

Admin Interface

Go to http://yourmirrorIP:5003/ #page will be reachable within same network.

Caution

DO NOT expose application with portforward

@JohnGalt
Hi,
Yeah, I am. But I’m wondering if it’s because I am remoting in on a different port, that I can’t then access that port? I’ve checked the documentation heaps and can’t work it out. I even tried opening the html admin file within the ‘public’ folder, and I can open it but I can’t edit it. I can write the names and click on dates and everything, but when I press ‘add’ nothing happens. I’ve updated and it says it’s all up to date.
Thanks

This is what I get when I login to MMMChores admin
http://192.168.1.223:5003
https doesn’t work for me. I don’t have it setup to work in my config.js.
Are you trying to reach it from work or from home and it is in another building???

[mischag]

@plainbroke
Yeah ok. I might have to try another way… but it’s definitely not working at the moment for me…
The port doesn’t bring anything up for me other than the page saying it does not exist.
I was hoping not to have it setup through the config folder but it was the only way I could find the admin interface. But then I couldn’t add people or tasks to it…

[plainbroke]

@mischag
So are you trying to change things by going into MM/modules/MMM-Chores/data.json and editing it? I just tried that and it does not work.
I think it is because the module assigns each grouping a specific ID that way beyond my paygrade… Wish I could be of more help…
So are you accessing it remotely i.E. from a different network?
Hope you figure it out…

@mischag

Hi the ip adress id 192.168.1.whatevertheipofghepi:5003

[PierreGode]

@sarote
It is done

[sdetweil]

@PierreGode .1 is typically the router , not the pi

on the MagicMirror system do

ip addr

[PierreGode]

@sdetweil
What?? 🤭
Like I said I think it is 192.168.subdomain.yourip ❤️
So yes you are right 1 could be 0 depending on your router. I mention http://yourmirrorip:5003/ in my readme for the reason that it can vary, it could even be 10. 24.x.x

[sdetweil]

@PierreGode yes. all my routers set their ip address to.1 of the assigned address range

home is 192.168.2.(1)
a test network i have it 10.0.2.(1)

all the devices start at .2

on linux

ip addr

will give this machine’s address
on windows its

ipconfig /all

@mischag I’m having the exact same problems that you describe here. Cannot connect to admin page via ip address/trying to use the admin.html page directly is non-responsive. Did you make any progress?

[PierreGode]

@supascoopa74 @mischag
I created a wiki on the repository I hope it helps.
https://github.com/PierreGode/MMM-Chores/wiki/MMM‐Chores-Wiki

[KristjanESPERANTO]

@PierreGode The wiki page is empty :-(

[sdetweil]

@KristjanESPERANTO i see the link to the front page

[PierreGode]

@KristjanESPERANTO
Thank you, updated

[khayfer]

@PierreGode Hello, I’m having the same issues as supascoopa74 and mischag. I went through all the points in the wiki page and still unable to get to the admin page. Checked my firwalls and they were “open”… unsure how to proceed.

[sdetweil]

@khayfer what is the address: setting in config.js
it CANNOT be localhost. as thst mesns only apps INSIDE the same system can connect (a browser on the same system)

[supascoopa74]

@PierreGode Thank you for the wiki. I didn’t realize the MagicMirror needs to be running for the admin page to work. Doh! It works now trying to access myPIip:5003 from another computer on my network.
