[Remote-Control] Shutdown, Configure and Update your MagicMirror

yes I did it following the steps in that wiki

Shouldn’t pm2 start mm be executed in ~ and not in ~/MagicMirror ? The tutorial said to create mm.sh in ~

So please go back one folder with cd .. or directly with cd ~ and try again

kurt

@yawns
this is what I get,
do you think it is a good idea to start the install routine once again from the beginning? pi@raspberrypi:~ $
in my modules folder there is no PM2 folder. Should there be one?
Thanks a lot for help

If you want to start the process with npm start then you have to do that inside ~/MagicMirror
However if you want to use pm2 then I would advise following the instructions again: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/wiki/Auto-Starting-MagicMirror

pm2 seems to be working fine on your raspberry, so I would start here:

Make a MagicMirror start script. To use PM2 in combination with MagicMirror, we need to make a simple shell script. Preferable, we put this script outside the MagicMirror folder to make sure it won’t give us any issues if we want to upgrade the mirror.

cd ~
nano mm.sh

Add the following lines:

cd ~/MagicMirror
DISPLAY=:0 npm start

Save and close, using the commands CTRL-O and CTRL-X. Now make sure the shell script is executable bij performing the following command:

chmod +x mm.sh

You are now ready to the MagicMirror using this script using PM2.

@yawns
my first step was to make this start script following the instructions.
the mm.sh with the script cd ~/MagicMirror DISPLAY=:0 npm start is now in my /home/pi folder.
When I try to start the mm by npm start I get this (the mirror is not appearing):

{ Error: listen EADDRINUSE :::8080

Thank you

yawns

EADDRINUSE means, there is another process running and listening on port 8080
It looks like the magicmirror somehow is running already.

@yawns
By now the PM2 does its work! Great!
When I put the pi away from electricity and then start the pi again, PM2 starts the mirror :slight_smile:
But when I make some changes in Edit modulesor Einstellungen, save them, the changes are not shown, also after restarting the mirror but I get Error!also after restarting the mirror.
So by now some features work :slight_smile: some still need some time or a little push…
Thank you

Hi @mochman !
Is there any chance to change the caption that it is shown of each module?
For example, I’ve got 2 clocks modules, so I can see what time is it in 2 different countries. But when I go to the Remote control I see 2 “Clocks” and don’t know which is the clock I’m hiding or showing until I press the boton.
Is it possible to change the caption in the control?

Kind regards

Sorry for my long absence. I am currently in the last weeks of writing my master thesis. Therefore unfortunately not much will be happening until second or third week of May.

Big thanks to @strawberry-3-141 and @yawns to help everyone out so much. I finally made a release with the outstanding fixes:

[1.1.3] - 2017-04-23

Added

Portuguese translation
Indonesian translation
Support for iOS Icon and Webapp

Changed

Installation no longer needs a temporary file

Fixed

Icon paths adapted to changes in Magic Mirror² 2.1.0

Hopefully I got everyone covered in my answers:

@PatrickGlatz Have you figured it out yet? I don’t think there is any special configuration needed, just need to find the right menu.

@kurt Thanks! Hopefully I will come around to improve the config interface at some point, as there are still some known bugs and problems, but I am glad it is already helping.

@AAPS You are right, I should probably add npm install after updating MM.

@pepemujica What error do you get? Maybe it is something in your network settings?

@Jopyth Hi! Yes I could solve the part of remote connection, but still can’t find the way to change the name of moddules in the control, since I have for example 3 or 4 iFrames, all of them just says iFrame in the control, so I’m looking the way to customize them. Is it possible?

Kind regards
