@bdream ok, there are two logs… error and out…

maybe best to do

cd ~/MagicMirror
pm2 stop 0
npm start

bdream

pi@RasPiZeroW:~ $ cd ~/MagicMirror/

@bdream

you MUST install the graphical UI desktop on the pi, right? MM uses graphics to display the screen.

bdream

hmm, I guess I have to investigate about this in a few weeks.

So far many thanks for your help here. Will have a look later today and see what can I handle. Otherwise later. I have to run for a meeting now.

graphical UI desktop on the pi
I wonder. I understood Pi0 don’t need to have UI installed. therefor I installed the light raspbian image - maybe I’m wrong :confounded_face:

Do I have to install lightdm or other?

And then I assume use raspi-config to boot to desktop?

sdetweil

@bdream you can do node serveronly , instead of npm start…

for pm2, edit installers/mm.sh and change npm start to node serveronly

then pm2 restart 0

others have had success at running UI on p0 as well…

make sure u change config/config.js to allow other machines to connect
to allow all

address: “”,
and
ipWhitelist: [],

Í’m back now and started to work further on my Pi0 with MM installation.

I tried to get UI desktop running by installing lightdm.
Then reconfigured Boot option to start Desktopn and Auotologin.
After reboot, wich looks good, PI starts an give Debian logon screen.

How to autologon?

After I put in my credentials pi and raspberry I stuck in login-loop.

bdream

Any idea what to do?
Maybe Pi0 is not the Hardware MM will run good. Especialy in regards to upcoming updates :dizzy_face:
But this small device will give more oportunities for nice looking projects based on MM :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

sdetweil

@bdream others have made it work… you may have to reinstall the base raspian image to get the graphical desktop running properly…

I don’t have one of these pi0 devices to test with
