@BKeyport Great info, thanks so much. Yeah that’s the module in question. Can 2 modules occupy 1 area ? Like side by side if they are not as wide as the ones below? Wondering how much latitude I have. For now I’ll try the float, thanks .

I’ve got 3 modules on the right side of my screen. For some reason the WifiPass word module extends itself to match the width of the measure module even though that means lots of dead space. Any way to force it to use only what it needs?

@sdetweil Thanks! I ended up setting up a magicmirror.service. now I use

sudo service magicmirror resart

after each tweak to my config. I have it up and running on a free oracle cloud instance and behind a reverse proxy.

I guess the danger there is that anyone with the URL can access it…but they’d have to guess the URL…right?

@sdetweil could you remind me of the command to run NPM RUN SERVER in the background so it won’t quit when I close my SSH session?

Also, if I need to re-run the server (let’s say I update the config or add a module) how do I do that?

@sdetweil great ty. Yeah the plan is to run this non-gui version in server mode. I’ll need to edit the config to allow remote connections from my IPs and open the right ports, etc it will be a process lol but I think I can sort it out.

@sdetweil oh sorry - a vps is a remote, virtual machine. but it functions exactly like a low power (2cores 8g of ram) ARM machine.

@sdetweil thanks! can I use this curl command?

bash -c “$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/raspberry.sh)”

I’ve seen some guides for MagicMirror on linux but I am on the struggle bus trying to setup MM on a remote VPS (via SSH). Ubuntu 22 on ARM architecture. Is there a guide floating around? Has anyone done this?

New to MagicMirror but loving it so far. My Raspian desktop fits normally on my screen, but when I run MM, the modules on the right side overshoot the display and get clipped. Thoughts on why or how I can diagnose this? Thanks!
