Before writing here I made backups, locally and on github, like you taught me in the past :)

Now I’ll try

@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 “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

@sdetweil later I’ll try. The version is the last one

Hello,
I have a problem related to the basic calendar module.
I use the private.ics from google but sometimes it can’t fetch data.
It doesn’t happen regularly, only sometimes but this error keep me to keep the keyboard connected for use the CTRL+R function everytime it happen.
It’s annoying because I hope to forget it completely and just using MM.
I can reproduce the issue with CTRL+R, every 7/8 refreshes it happen.
I could not refresh it forever but MM turn off and on every day so… it happen.

My question is: is it a normal behaviour from google or is there something I did that cause the behaviour?
I checked pihole also, thinking it could cause issues but it seem not related to it.

As calendar I use the basic one and the EXT3

Here is the log, thanks

@sdetweil Ok but I wanna just offer a coffe for your kind and your time spent with that.

Do you suggest me to fix the old magic mirror folder or just rm it?

@sdetweil
Sam… I don’t know how to saying it.
I figure out the issue.

After your last message I tried what you suggest.
With the default cfg I had no errors, with mine I had errors.

So I checked again and again the config…
and I find an underscore _ right at the start of the config

npm config:check told me “no syntax errors” and that confusing me.

When I edit it I use nano editor
I do “sudo nano config.js” and I press CTRL + _ to jump at the 250 line.
Might be one of the latest time I opened it and press _ a bit faster than CTRL and I add it for error.

In addition I notice that when I open config.js with nano editor the green cursor is, clearly, at the start of the first line… EXACTLY on the undescore _ and it hides it.

I’m really sorry for bothering you with that.
How can I buy you a coffee ?
Thanks
