@sdetweil I did not know that was possible. Another thanks!

@sdetweil Thanks for the quick reply. I use your upgrade script and it is nothing short of amazing. I’ll take your advice and do updates with the script.

The problem I constantly battle is pm2 is just a little aggressive on restarting MM, and it takes me many tries to finally do a ‘pm2 stop all’ so I can have a command line. I wish I knew how to increase the time for pm2 restarts.

I’m running MagicMirror using pm2 if that matters. What I am looking for, if it’s possible, is some way to update MagicMirror and modules on startup. Is such a thing possible, or even desirable?

There is no module that addresses this city. There is an api available:
api.winnipegtransit.com

I have zero experience coding modules, but I have some outdated coding skills. Is there a transit module I might possibly use as a starting point? One that I could modify with my Winnipeg api?

@sdetweil You are amazing! I wish I knew Linux as well I know Windows, but so it goes. Your suggestion worked! Thanks again!

Thanks @sdetweil , I entered the lines, but I had a bit of a problem getting MM to not restart while I tried to capture the logs. Hope this provides some insight:

I know this thread is quite old, hoping @Mykle1 or someone still looks at it.

I followed the instructions and have a MM running on my Acer Revo. However, when I start MagicMirror, all I see is a blank screen. I have pm2 and electron installed, where do I find the logfile to try to track down the issue?

@sdetweil These errors started appearing after running fine for over 6 months.

Is this still considered the best method for running a MM on a Windows PC?

https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/4089/complete-walkthrough-install-magicmirror-on-a-pc-windows-7-10

Reason for asking is my setup for some unknown reason keeps reporting I have corrupted modules.

.newsfeed {
color: #ffff00;
}
I put that in my custom.css file, and the descriptor text shows yellow, but the headline is still white. Do you know how to get the headline changed as well?
