@johnnyboy missing something.
I’ve tried it on a Linux laptop and a Windows laptop.
On Linux it worked good, but on the windows machine partially worked, as I am limited by the fact that some of the programs that are needed can’t be installed as they only works on Linux.

@tosti007 I’ve just tried it, and I don’t experience any problems.

@cowboysdude said in Display JSON data from an api:

it would be easier to just write a new module for it…

Perhaps. I just guessed a the rest module could be a good starting point.

I was looking through the log of magicmirror and I found and error. It turned out to be an error in the danish translation file da.json. The smallest error ever, but an error, none the less.

I am totally new to git and github, and are therefore not sure how to proceed. I am hoping that somebody will add an small post in the tutorial section of this forum with a “You’ve fixed a bug; whats next”, that simply explains how to handle the git-part and upload the fix to the repository. Hopefully this could encourage more people to help and contribute.
I know I could read more general guides about git, but I am hoping that somebody would also explain about the branches in the repository and the specific parts concerning the magicmirror repository.

@cowboysdude said in IR Touchframe suggestions?:

AliExpress

Following, as I am planning on buying from AliExpress aswell.

@Goldjunge_Chriz thanks for the offer but as the frame is allready build, this mirror is a bit larger than what I need

@lavolp3 I am in the exact same situation. I bought the mirror from here, but it is way too dark and not very mirror-like.

@Goldjunge_Chriz are there any chance that the ordering can be speeded up? The thread is 5 months old and only 3 on the list. I would love to buy one but the wait seem to be very long.

I guess it would be possible to just make some changes in js/server.js and then create some certificates using openssl but are there anyway of running magicmirror secure (https instead of http) without having to modify the core? So that new updates to magicmirror wouldn’t erase the changes i’ve made?

I think the reason why you get the “MM doesnt exist” error is just because the script isnt running.

You are asking pm2 to show you status of a process that doesn’t exist. So this error is not the problem, but just a symptom of the fact that pm2 doesnt start mm.sh after reboot as it should. . Hope that makes sense.

From what i can see on your screenshots, you seems to be doing it correctly so i dont know why pm2 will not start mm.sh for you. Sorry

The full path of the location is /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/myModule/public/myFile.htm

According to the documentation this file should be reachable from http://localhost:8080/myModule/myFile.htm
but this doesnt work.

After tried several different combinations i’ve found that this one works.
http://localhost.8080/modules/myModule/public/myFile.htm

Have i misread the documentation or is that an error?

Hi
When i read the readme. for module development, it says

modulename/public - Any files in this folder can be accesed via the browser on /modulename/filename.ext.

But whenever i place a file in that folder, i get the following error

Cannot GET /myModule/myFile.htm

Is this an error in MagicMirror, or is it an error in my setup? I have tried to set permission to 777 of the files in public, without any luck.

@fiskaren Then i dont know what could be wrong. Perhaps someone else will see this post and can point you in the right direction.
Your solution will start MM each time the computer is started, where pm2 will only start MM, if it was running when the reboot was initiated. But if it works for you.

Have you saved the current state of the PM2?

Run

pm2 start mm.sh
pm2 save
sudo reboot

Install linux on the laptop, and then install magicmirror using the manuall installation as found here.

Perhaps there will be some glitches because MagicMirror was designed for raspberry pi but I did it with an old laptop for testing purpose and it worked fine. Currently I am working with magicmirror on a windows machine, and here i get a lot more glitches because i cant install the same programs (“sudo apt-get” doesnt exist
