@sdetweil Yes…I did that. You helped me with it last week.

@dwburger but u got me wondering about the words…
Windows 10
runs fine
run it remotely
ssh/ git bash -
@sdetweil If u want to SEE/view it on the tablet (which might have a browser)
in the base system config.js
address:"0.0.0.0", ipWhitelist:[]
then open the tablet browser to the ip of the base and port
http://ip_address:8080

@sdetweil Yes, it’s a Windows 10 laptop with a detachable screen that becomes a tablet basically.
“Runs fine” = On the laptop, using Git Bash, I can start the MM2 normally with “npm start”.
“Run it remotely” = The MM2 running on the tablet part of the laptop will sit in the kitchen (no keyboard or mouse). I want to manage it from my desktop in my office using Git Bash ssh connection.The laptop came with Edge, but I’ve been using Chrome.
http://192.168.1.65:8080 fails
http://localhost:8080 works

Windows doesn’t support remote display like linux does. u have to use an rdp client
I am booted to my linux system now -
@sdetweil Oh, of course! I’ll work on that…thanks!

http://localhost:8080 worksso, that looks like the address/ipWhitelist setting above…
(by default MM thinks it is in a closed box on the wall, so only allows connections from INSIDE the box) -
@sdetweil :thumbs_up:

but I don’t understand this…
with the change to the start script, it runs in windows without bash… just regular windows batch
(cmd/powershell) -
@sdetweil OK
