Thanks! I will try that, seems smooth.

@sdetweil the VM has only terminal interface I access it with ssh

oo cool script. shall i run it inside my MagicMirror directory or outside in my user directory or in my root folder ?

Hello I have setup my magicmirror (latest) as follows

Virtual machine on a dell optiplex running magicmirror serveronly

Raspberry pi running chromium-browser in kiosk pointing at VM

BUT when running npm run serveronly on VM my mm-client (raspberrrypi fetch and shows magicmirror interface from server)

then I stop npm serveronly and make a systemd script as the one in magicmirror documents.

[Unit]
Description=MagicMirror
After=network.target
StartLimitIntervalSec=0

[Service]
Type=simple
Restart=always
RestartSec=1
User=sentinel
WorkingDirectory=/home/sentinel/MagicMirror/
ExecStart=/usr/bin/node /home/sentinel/MagicMirror/serveronly

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

and systemctl start and then status magicmirror.service result in following

● magicmirror.service - MagicMirror
     Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/magicmirror.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
     Active: active (running) since Sun 2024-04-21 18:36:18 CEST; 1ms ago

             └─1016038 (node)

Apr 21 18:36:18 MagicMirrorVm systemd[1]: Started MagicMirror.

but after this action my mm-client (raspberry pi) cant connect to server anymore I get “this site cant be reached”

How do I solve this, to me it seems that mm-serveronly does not start but I’m not sure .

AH! Sorry!

Changed it now your snippet in 1st Line

And we have Success!!! Finally!!

Thanks Alot @sdetweil

something wrong with nodehelper I believe.

Or maybe I have wrong port and IP to my mpd.

and then change folder name to mod-client ?

is it mod-client (folder) and mod_client in config.js in config array. do I also change name in mpd-client.js file?

@sdetweil

so then i throw mpd client folder in trash and follow your
install instructions?

because I believe there have been a problem when I first installed mpd_client, I did not been clear where the npm install should been placed, if you read in mpd-client readme.md maybe you understand, english is not my first language, and my linux-fu is below first grade :)

yes and and result is

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ grep version package.json
	"version": "2.13.0",
