@yawns, @morozgrafix and @Jopyth, welcome to the team! 👍

I’ve recently reinstalled my Pi and installed the latest built of the develop branch.
I have a small update script which eventually restarts MagicMirror using pm2 restart mm.
Unfortunately, it won’t restart because it says port 8080 is already in use.

The only solution is rebooting the Pi.

Before I spend some time on solving this, I’m curious: does restarting work on your pi? And are you running the latest develop branch as well?

@lolobyte: it’s a default module which in the example config starting from V2.1.0 - So only when upgrading from a previous version, You need to add it manually. It’s in the changelog somewhere. But indeed, It might need some better documentation. Feel free to send PR’s to do this. :)

Jessie or Jessie Lite?

Which version of Raspbian are you using?

Hmm… need to look into this. Will do this later. Thanks for testing.

The only option it has is maxNewsItems. Maybe it helps if you limit it to the last 5 items?

A pull request with a limit option for the amount of days would be welcome.

the alert module is a bit of an odd one. It has a specific config option for the position:

modules: [
    ...
    {
        module: 'alert',
        config: {
            position: "right"
        }
    }
]

But this will only allow you to change it from center to left or right.

Not exactly sure if it helps, but you might try this module: https://github.com/MichMich/MMM-WatchDog

@yawns Should be fixed now.
