Although the forum is rapidly growing (something I’m very grateful for), the issues aren’t caused by limited capacity.

The forum is based on nodeBB, an opensource community platform. NodeBB has a lot of power, features and functionalities. But it also turns out to come with a major downside: it appears to be extremely unstable.

Both me and @paviro are doing the best we can to keep the forum up and running. But unfortunately, we haven’t found a the perfect recipe to keep it running stable.

If someone is a master in nodeBB configuration (and has a proven track record!) please let me know! We could certainly use some helping hands. :)

Hotfix Merged! :)

@KrawallKurt I know, but this is an article in which I collaborated with MagPi.

I’ve just merged the fix!👍

If you haven’t yet, don’t forget to check out the newest issue of MagPi. It has an 11 page long coverstory of #MagcMirror:

What helps if you have issues with your config file is to pass it into http://jshint.com.
It should give no errors, other than one minor warning which probably states:

One undefined variable
	module

All other errors should be fixed before your config is able to work properly.

@broberg No, this is a limitation of the RPi, because it doesn’t have hardware accelerated CSS animations. Moving away the server part will not solve this.

As @PointPubMedia states, this is what the serveronly version is for.

But more importantly, what’s the load on your Pi? Ore you really running into issues? It should work fine on one Pi. Like almost all users have their MagicMirror.

EDIT: I just checked, when Idle, the load of my Mirror on a PI3 is ~ 0.35. So it’s fully cable of handeling it.

Maybe you’re using modules that are a bit processor intensive?

This seem to have fixed the issue. Thanks @roramirez!

@cowboysdude Ah, so you’re experiencing the same? In that case it’s worth diving into …
