replace the run-start.sh with this one from the next release
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/develop/run-start.sh

I changed run-start.sh file and now I get this error:

I try to run it in docker container with gui on my pi . But when I start it, there is no output to HDMI. MM starts in server mode no matter what I do.

Does magicmirror need minimal X11 to run?

I figured out the error occured when I try to run mm from ssh if I run directly on rpi consol it works?

But I need to find solution to run mm from ssh. How?

npm info it worked if it ends with ok
