Docker Container

  • K

    Hey there!

    I was thinking about a way to easily host MagicMirror and display the webpage on any device in the home network.
    First thing that came to my mind, why not a Docker container for the Server-Only application?
    Would be a really smooth way to host magicmirror on say… a homeserver, and use a rpi zero or any other network capable device to display the webpage in kiosk mode.

    Let me know what you think! 🙂

    Hi,
    trying to work with docker after the release of MM v.2.1.1.

    The documentation says to start docker with:

    docker run  -d \
			--publish 80:8080 \
			--restart always \
			--volume ~/magic_mirror/config:/opt/magic_mirror/config \
			--volume ~/magic_mirror/modules:/opt/magic_mirror/modules \
			--name magic_mirror \
			MichMich/MagicMirror

    That doesn’t work, so google helped and this is working:

    docker run  -d \
			--publish 80:8080 \
			--restart always \
			--volume ~/magic_mirror/config:/opt/magic_mirror/config \
			--volume ~/magic_mirror/modules:/opt/magic_mirror/modules \
			--name magic_mirror \
			randyramsaywack/magicmirror

    Now docker ps tells me that all is running but i can’t see the site in my browser.
    I tried localhost:8080 and localhost:8183, doesn’t work.

    The documentation says to update the config with the Docker Host IP address.
    So I tried to get this with

    # As of Docker v1.3 you can attach to a bash shell
docker exec -it  2e23d01384ac  bash
# That drops you into a bash shell then use the 'ip' command to grab the addr
root@2e23d01384ac:/# ip add | grep global
    inet 172.17.0.1/16 scope global eth0

    but inserting this in whitelist still doesn’t work.

    May someone here knows what I’m doing wrong …

    Thanks,

    Karsten.

    Update: I found no valid mm container in the docker store.

    You can build your own docker image locally with

    docker build -t magic_mirror .

    and run it with

    docker run  -d --publish 8080:8080 --restart always --volume ~/magic_mirror/config:/opt/magic_mirror/config --volume ~/magic_mirror/modules:/opt/magic_mirror/modules --name magic_mirror magic_mirror

    and open it in your browser with

    http://localhost:8080/

    Be aware of this issue.

    Karsten.
