        I can test your config for you. Post it here using these guidelines unless you already know how to fence a code block.

        I’m assuming your made a copy of the config.js.sample and renamed the copy to config.js

          I figured out that while performing “npm install” some warnings like :
          Colorguard (and 2 others) shoud be installed with install -g or so.

          I tried this ans after retrieing with sudo privs it worked.

          Now everything is running smooth.

          But thx for your help.

            All’s well that ends well, as the saying goes.

            Enjoy your mirror.
