Installing on a Pi Zero

Smolo

@bhepler
First, as a supplement the installation is absolute standard except for another VNC server.
Chromium starts automaticly with http://localhost:8080

I have already tested the following constellations before my post.
the local ip (192.168.2.84:8080)
127.0.0.1:8080
localhost:8080

“err_connection_refused”

with https browser fault > “err_address_unreachable”

Other things :…

ublock is inactive!
Configuration vom MagicMirror Config:
var config = {
port: 8080,
address: “0.0.0.0”,
ipWhitelist: [],
Test from another pc > “err_connection_refused”

I’ve solved the problem and it’s going crazy. After I tried with a portscanner to find out if there is anything running I found out that there is no port 8080 open.

If somebody has problems checking the logs via "pm2 logs MagicMirror --lines 1000

I missed the npm module “moment” under “/home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/moment”!!!:astonished_face:

Go to MagicMirror > “npm install” the problem was solved!:slightly_smiling_face:

thank you for help, i had to reinstal system once more becase there were a lot of errors.
After new instalation pm2 didn’t start properly. after few hours i found why.
In pm2_MagicMirrorPi0.json
line:
“script” : “/MagicMirror/PiZero/startMagicMirror.sh”,
should be :
“script” : “/MagicMirror/PiZero/startMagicMirrorPi0.sh”,

sdetweil

which installer are you using? I don’t see the filename pm2_MagicMirrorPi0.json
or “script” : “/MagicMirror/PiZero/startMagicMirror.sh”,
in the raspberry.sh script…

sdetweil

ah, ok… i see you followed the manual instructions back a few posts…

i have a modified raspberry.sh I have for testing, that takes user into account

to use it like normal

bash -c “$(curl -sL https://www.dropbox.com/s/izj6dz2z9557oga/raspberry.sh?dl=0)”

If I try to install magic mirror on the pi zero i get an error that electron 3.0.13 not found for armv6 , by editing the package.json file to specify electron 2.0.18. I can get it to work, although I cannot find a version of electron for armv6 on the electron repo. Any idea why 2.0.18 would work? What would I need to try to compile electron 3 for armv6?

Thanks!
