MM docker container problem with mac and linux

[raywo]

@tomasz2101 Why is that not according to documentation?
I have a simliar setup like you. I run docker on my mac and access the mirror instance via my mac it works just fine.

Maybe you should try it without creating your own docker image. Try the solution as described in the MagicMirror documentation.

@raywo i tried

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 \
                        bastilimbach/docker-magicmirror

docker ps

docker logs -f magic_mirror

cat config.js

var config = {
	address: "localhost", // Address to listen on, can be:
	port: 8080,
	ipWhitelist: ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1", "192.168.1.176"],

	timeFormat: 24,
	units: "metric",

	modules: [
		{
			module: "clock",
			position: "top_left"
		},
	]

};

When im trying to access url http://localhost:8080/ in incognito i got always “localhost didn’t send any data” and there is no information in container about trying to access pare.

@tomasz2101 This looks okay to me. Although the log states "WARNING! Could not find config file. Please create one. Starting with default configuration.".
Where did you put your config.js file? Is it in ~/magic_mirror/config on your mac?

[tomasz2101]

@raywo The config.js.sample was created automatically. After that i copy it to config.js and restarted container but logs show:

@tomasz2101 And? Does it work?

[tomasz2101]

@raywo no

[raywo]

@tomasz2101 In my config.js I put "" in the address setting. I also have "::ffff:192.168.2.1/120" included in my ipWhitelist. My home network is 192.168.2.0.

my config.js

var config = {
	address: "", // - "", "0.0.0.0", "::" to listen on any interface
	             // Default, when address config is left out, is "localhost"
	port: 8080,
	ipWhitelist: ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1", "::ffff:192.168.2.1/120", "192.168.2.110", "172.17.0.1"]

  /* module config */
}

@raywo thx a lot now it is working.
Also i had to do docker binding to localhost
my config:

var config = {
	address: "",
	port: 8080,
	ipWhitelist: [],
	language: "en",
	timeFormat: 24,
	units: "metric",

	modules: [
		{
			module: "clock",
			position: "top_left"
		}
	]

};

I updated the Github repository to include a working config file example. Thanks @raywo!

[raywo]

@bastilimbach Good addition to the docs. Thank you!
Maybe you should remove "192.168.2.1/120", "192.168.2.110" as it applies only to my configuration. Or you should explain it better.
