      Many times I can not find the time to sit in front of my Raspberry and work on my MagicMirror … and I think this is the situation of a lot of you!
      Is it possible to virtualize/emulate our MagicMirror? In this way it would be easy to develop as soon as we have a few minutes of free time!

      I saw that months ago, another user (@Nikhil) had posted my same question but no one had answered …

        @egnos well, you could use ubuntu under VB or VMWare or Windows Virtual…

        then push the changes to your pi later

          @sdetweil Yes this is what I also did!
          I just installed a Debian Desktop and downloaded and installed MagicMirror on it manually. I got the same results, but the performance was better on my PC compared to the RPi even in a low configured VM :D

              I’m using my macbook to develop or test MM. Except for few modules and some HW specific features, that is enough. I think any *nix machine also be good enough to test.

                I use Pixel Desktop Image inside of virtualbox, which works great for me.
