Problem is host os. I downloaded latest raspbian buster image and followed guide from the link. Works like charm in docker container and display picture to host hdmi.

Maybe the problem is host os, not a container?

Scenario 2: Using docker on the raspberry pi and starting the magicmirror on the screen of the pi.

I will post results back.

Again without success :(

Error:
(electron:41): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: unix:0.0

Thanks for your time @sdetweil :)

I will first try docker container from link you posted before. One of scenario is about:

@lpt2007 ok, and why does chrome on the hassos not work?

Maybe I can try to made ha addon with chrome in kiosk mode to see where the problem is?

@sdetweil said in Does magicmirror need minimal X11 to run?:

i don’t really understand, as BOTH approaches will require some browser to be running ON the HASSOS image ALL THE TIME… (somewhere)

Container with mm must connect to host display. I made something simmilar with kodi media center in docker container.

not the right one

I installed this one:

root@local-mm:/# apt install libdbus-1-3
Reading package lists... Done

libdbus-1-3 is already the newest version (1.10.28-0+deb9u1).

yes, u need more libraries loaded into the container…
/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libdbus-1.so.3

This library is already installed.

@sdetweil said in Does magicmirror need minimal X11 to run?:

@lpt2007 need more libraries.

I’d run serveronly in the container, and use chromium from outside the container

Thanks, but this is not an option, because I try to use mm as addon for Home Assistant and I use hassos image. The mm will be one of the systems I will use on rpi and I will call them trough ha when I need them.

Any idea what error I posted means?

@lpt2007 graphical stuff not loaded in container.

I added needed graphical libraries, now I get this error:
