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

Now I’ll try

@KristjanESPERANTO
Nice!
Thank you

@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

Hello,
I have a question for @mumblebaj.
Kindly, is there a way to login with API key instead username+password method?
I read that now API key doesn’t have the classic method’s frequency update limitations.
It could be more useful to have “nearly live data” energy production.

Another question, less important, is there a way to hide the grid from the “table” view?
It’s not so important, I just like compact and minimal styles, when informations are more important than design itself.
Thanks a lot

@KristjanESPERANTO
Nice!
Thank you

@sdetweil I know the elements abbreviations.
I was just thinking if there was a way to “cycle all elements” instead of writing 110/120 elements inside the config

@sdetweil Yeah, I will do that, I just wanna say it worked.

Another detail, default configuration has this line:

elements: [“H”, “He”, “Li”, “C”, “N”, “O”, “Ne”, “Na”, “Fe”, “Cu”, “Ag”, “Xe”],

what should I write inside the [] parenthesis to cycle through all the elements?

@kristjanesperanto thanks for your answer.
I solved like @sdetweil said, simply changing the order inside AtomVisualizer config and it worked.
Usually my rule is to never modify items inside modules folders so I though there was a way to set it from the config.js like other modules but might be I didn’t understand it, that’s why I asked here :)
It’s a nice module, I like it!
Thanks again for your support guys.

@sdetweil Ok, in the past I think I set up the system in Italian.
So I’ll try to switch the order and, eventually, I’ll switch the language. Thanks

Hello @kristjanesperanto, I saw you are AtomVisualizer module’s developer.
Kindly, I need to ask where do I have to go to select the language.
I saw something about “getTranslation” inside MMM-AtomVisualizer.js but I didn’t understand where do I have to act to have an EN translation.
Thanks in advance, I’m sure I am the problem but I’m not very skilled on these configurations.
In the config option parameter I don’t see anything about language.
Thanks again

@sdetweil
Today I notice something.
I had to turning off my router for a while, so no internet connection were available for nearly 10 minutes.
In that time MM goes black with cursor…
so the issue could be internet connection related

@sdetweil
I tried with another sd (brand new) and keep happen so I don’t think it is hardware related.
Yes it turn off during night and it restart in the morning, this could affect the sd but I tried with a brand new one.
Yes, back it up often, thanks to your script :)

I use the mmFetchTimeout=40000 before npm start but it happen.

I think the solution could be to insert after the npm start a:
sleep 30
(a command that CTRL+R the page)

If a command like this exist

Re: Performances on Pi 3A+

Hello, I have this issue from the past.
In these months I tried a lot of things but I didn’t solve it.
I know it’s not hardware related, so I don’t know where to “bang my head”.
Raspberry is set up to start itself at 7:30.
The issue is: some days, not everydays, when it start raspberry reach the desktop but when MM is loaded the screen remain black with a white cursor in the middle.
In these months I temporary solved it in two ways:
1- refresh the page with a simple CTRL+R. It need a keyboard connected but it work flawlessly and istantly.
2- sending a “pm2 restart mm” through terminal
3- adding a delaying with export mmFetchTimeout=30000 seems helps a bit but it didn’t solve it totally

Ok, it’s not a great issue but I like to make my things working without issues :)

Do you have any advices?
Honestly, I’m a little bit ignorant but to me it could be related to electron because with a simple CTRL+R it shows everything, so (to me) it seem MM is loaded correctly but electron decide to show a black screen with cursor instead of MM modules.
Do I need to maybe update electron?
I prefer not to update raspberry frequently, if it works.

Is there a way to add a CTRL+R command after a delay of 10 seconds inside the mm.sh?
I think that could solve it easily.
Thanks
