My google wifi router does this better than my old TPLink router did…

Thanks for highlighting. I may have changed the hostname manually at my main mirror

http://magicmirror

what is that? none of my machines know where ‘magicmirror’ is located… (I have 6 different instances running, all installed from the same script)

if you are

  • EITHER on the machine on which magicmirror is running on, you type:
    http://localhost:8080

  • OR on another machine, then you type:
    http://192.168.178.33:8080 or http://magicmirror:8080

And you need to do what @sdetweil said.

I’m new and could install the software, but i can’t connect to the mirror per localhost for the admin tool.

there is no ‘admin’ tool on MagicMirror

also, localhost mean the machine I’m on. so if you are using a windows machine to connect to the mirror, and use localhost, that mean on the windows machine…

in addition to what @lavolp3 said, you also need to clear out the ipWhitelist to look like this

ipWhitelist: []

which means ‘allow anyone to connect’

No it doesn’t work :(

I get this error by trying “http://192.168.178.33:8080”

"Die Website ist nicht erreichbar192.168.178.33 hat die Verbindung abgelehnt.
Versuchen Sie Folgendes:

Should i post my config.js?

Take care of the following:

  • Go into your config.js and look for the “address” parameter. It needs to be
    address: "0.0.0.0",
  • visit your mirror from your browser via: http://localhost:8080
    If it doesn’t work, try visiting your mirror from another computer using: http://magicmirror:8080
    -Report if it works :-)

I’m new and could install the software, but i can’t connect to the mirror per localhost for the admin tool.
Should i install apache2 and put the software to /var/www/html? Or can i run it without @ http://magicmirror?

Greets :)

  1. Install the latest Raspbian WITH desktop environment (but without recommended software) on your SD card from here
  2. Fire up your RasPi 3B+, set up wifi or lan, SSH, and everything you would set up for a running Raspbian system (if you donÄt know why, you will first have to make yourself acquainted with Raspbian itself.
  3. Open the console (directly on the RasPi or via ssh) and follow installation procedure given on github
  1. Enjoy!

Questions? Get back here :-)
