You’re welcome, mate.

You might want to read this simple guide if you are unsure about adding modules to your config.js file.

Is there any way to get an overview when I’m editing the config.js file
I tried a web access to pi’s ip address and port from another computer on the same network but it’s not working even if i specified the ip address of pi in address section and allowed all ip addresses in ipwhitelist section!!

@oththegentel

This is not working for you?

var config = {
	address: "localhost",
	port: 8080,
	ipWhitelist: [],

[OthTheGentel]

@mykle1 unfortunately not.
I put the wlan0 ip address of my pi instead of localhost and it’s not working neither.

@oththegentel

Long shot:

Try address: "0.0.0.0",

[OthTheGentel]

@mykle1 Nope even locally
I’ll scan all my ports and check if 8080 is already used

@oththegentel enable VNC and patch in using that, I’m doing changes on my phone using that method it’s not the best given the screen size normally I do adjustments on the Mac when I can be bothered to boot it up, last minute changes are done on the phone.

@oththegentel It sounds like your MagicMirror instance is not running.
How did you start MagicMirror, do you have pm2 installed?
