Problem server client configuration

[Akkor]

Pls help I cannot find any solution

[sdetweil]

if you are trying to start over an ssh session, you need to add this before the node clientonly

if [ -z “$DISPLAY” ]; then #If not set DISPLAY is SSH remote or tty
export DISPLAY=:0 # Set by default display
fi

@akkor - Ugh. Why would you want to use Electron if you didn’t have to? There’s already a web browser on your Pi. Just point it at the MM server and be done with it.

I’ve learned that you can get Chromium to start in kiosk mode at a particular URL with about an hour of research and testing. Minimal swearing was involved.

@bhepler Electron is already a premade solution that works great. However using Chromium in Kiosk mode is also a nice and easy solution. And it may solve the issue here.

@idoodler @bhepler
I Have setup chromium to autostart and it’s ok
But I would like use Electron to use the voice command on client like this one https://github.com/mykle1/Hello-Lucy or https://github.com/joanaz/MMM-MirrorMirrorOnTheWall but I don’t know if it’s doable in server/client mode

@akkor I don’t think you can use Hello-Lucy in client mode.
But I bet the developer @Mykle1 knows it.

[Akkor]

ok so wait for @Mykle1

@Akkor ok so wait for @Mykle1

I never even thought about trying it. I just run standard installations. If @idoodler doesn’t think it will work, it probably won’t. However, you could always try for yourself.
