@sdetweil that did the trick, thank you! Bummer about watchdog, the auto restart was nice

My magicmirror has been running great on my raspberry pi v4 since I first set it up about a month ago. But last week, it started crashing after less than 1 minute of booting up. Since I have pm2 and WatchDog set up, it tries to restart it but always crashes again within a minute. I tried a completely fresh install of magicmirror, but still am having the same issue.

Removing WatchDog resolves the crashing issue, but I would still like to use that module as it is nice to have the auto restart if something goes wrong and it crashes. I tried looking at the source code for it on GitHub, but don’t understand it/how it works with MagicMirror to know what the underlying issue is.

Environment:

• Node v18.4.0
• npm v8.12.1
• pm2 v5.1.1

Here are some of my pm2 logs:
