@sdetweil said in Question about backup script:
@nowayto also see my MMM-Config, it provides module install and all config
I give it a try some days ago, after your suggestion but I wanna learn the configuration first, rather than easier ways
I’ll read your CSS guide for sure
@rkorell Again, thank you Sam.
I know what you mean, I usually act as you said.
I like to help other, in the subject where I have knowledge.
So, thank you again
Hello,
I have a question about backup script.
In these days I’m trying to learn how to configure MM with some modules, after all these tries, I will do a fresh installation with no errors on configuration.
When I’ll arrive at that point, I’ll wanna backup MM entirely, so I see your script:
bash -c “$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror-backup-restore/main/mm_backup.sh)” with any parms
I don’t want a github private backup, I want just a local backup so does this script will backup every configuration on: $HOME/MM_backup ?
I assume I’ll just have to copy that folder away and keep it secure?
When I’ll need a restore I can start with an empty SD card, OS installation, MM installation script and then which of that 2 options?
1- copy the MM_backup folder in $HOME, install modules I need and run your restore script
(bash -c “$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror-backup-restore/main/mm_restore.sh)” with any parms)
2- copy the MM_backup folder in $HOME and just run the restore script
Thanks in advance
Perfect.
Your right but since I’m not a programmer so sometimes I have some stupid doubts.
I started with a simple idea and now in my mind I wanna make more than one MM, with differents setup but for now I need to learn the basics configuration, so I’m testing testing and testing more :)
Reinstall from 0 and test again :)
For example I hope it will be not to difficult to config css, I like the personalization it will offer but I’m scared about difficulties. But I’ll try for sure!
Thank you again
@sdetweil it could be. It’s a good card but it could have reached her lifespan. I’ll give it a try, thanks
@sdetweil it’s strange… because I have some modules active
standard Calendar
MMM-CalendarEXT3
standard weather
MMM-Formula1
MMM-Growatt
is it an issue? Everythings seems ok except for startup (sometimes)
it’s running

Hello,
I’m here to asking an help.
In the past I’ve set up an MM and it works good.
I started using a PI 3A+ with 512mb of ram, after some months and some performance issues I switched it to a pi 3B+ with 1GB of ram.
Honestly performance’s issues were not ram related, because the command “free” told me I have a lot of free mem but I switched anyway for “science purpose”
Anyway, on pi 3B+ it worked better.
After some months I decided to turn it back on a 3A+ for some reasons.
The 3B+ with a lot of ports is wasted on that project, 3A+ should be enuough and I’m right but some little problems appeared again.
Tha major problem is at startup: sometimes it started with a black screen and cursor and I need to manually CTRL+R to make the interface show correctly.
It’s very strange, in my limited mind an issue like that is related to RAM but is not.
“Free” shows me a good amount of Free RAM.
Thanks
@sdetweil “compliments” ok.
when I’ll have some spare time, I’ll try.
Thank you
Hello,
I have an idea to show on my MM some weather or temperature based messages.
I’ll try to explain it well; where I live, especially during summer, temperature could change a lot from a day to another, like 12/18 degreees.
I wanna display a message for the home guests who say, for example:
“NO AC needed”
when temperature is under X degrees for the day
“AC allowed”
when T is more than X degrees
Is there a way to do it?
Thanks
@sdetweil Did it. Hope it solve my issue. Thanks
@mumblebaj
My module is working right now and I read you suggest to not upgrade it if it’s working but I’m interested about the “connection retry” function because sometimes (very rare) it stay still on a previous lecture.
Like half an hour ago or more
@sdetweil
I’m sorry Sam, I didn’t figure out where I have to configure the
mmFetchTimeout. Where is it located? Thanks
