Non-Typical Setup, MM Stops Showing New Pictures (ImagesPhotos module)

ember1205

@sdetweil Issue I see now is that the indicated lines to add the lines after do not exist in my versions of server or socketclient…

sdetweil

@ember1205 what version are you using?
look at the top of package.json

ember1205

@sdetweil Version of MM? 2.13

sdetweil

@ember1205 ok, this fix doesn’t apply all the way back there… 32-13 19 releases/4 = one short of 5 years… wow!

ember1205

@sdetweil So what you’re saying is that maybe I wanna start by upgrading? lol

I’m running on a Linux virtual guest, so I can easily snapshot it before I try and upgrade. What’s the best option for me to get current?

sdetweil

@ember1205 if it’s a virtual machine, not docker

You will have to upgrade the os too, so don’t touch the existing vm

Backup
Use my scripts, save to github

Create new Vm
Use my scripts to install MagicMirror
Use my restore to put back config

@sdetweil I keep the OS updated separately on its own. What kind of updates are you suggesting would be necessary here?

sdetweil

@ember1205 the latest node requires some libraries not available on buster level, some gpio modules need help
On bullseye and later

Node 22.14 requirement is the last to provide binaries for 32 bit

@sdetweil I’m not running on a Pi or its software… Full install of opensuse linux. And I keep it fully patched and at the current release level.

sdetweil

@ember1205 did you make any progress here?

MM is just an app…
so you could copy the MagicMirror folder to save it
and then run the upgrade script or install a new version (using my install script, and move the current folder instead of copy)
