@holotfi2003 I’ve switched now to a RPI3, also for performance reasons. I can’t say if I will test again with the zero… it would be nicer though, thanks to smaller size.

@Andrius-ok said in How I got my Magic Mirror working on a Raspberry Pi 0 (zero):

Hi @lasharor , my apologies. Yes I have forgotten, very sorry was on long vacation.
So there is my MM image with Chromium for Raspberry Pi Zero W

note: you have to configure WiFi by yoursefl and also all modules to work properly in Yours language.

Thanks! Worked nice, until I updated and Chromium 56 (or so) got installed.
That version can’t connect (for whatever reason) connect to http://localhost:8080/.
Because of this, I had to change the file /home/pi/startMirror.sh and replace the word localhost with the word 127.0.0.1 and reboot.
Now it’s working again :)

Next thing I’m going to try is to update the MagicMirror installation.
Thanks for your image!

Gave up for the moment and testing now the image from the other thread.

Update1:
In my case the webserver was not accessible over the network, even after adding my client IP address to the /home/pi/MagicMirror/config/config.js file. This file is in the beginning not there, so first create a copy of the sample file:

cp /home/pi/MagicMirror/config/config.js.sample /home/pi/MagicMirror/config/config.js

After that, edit the file and replace the word localhost with 0.0.0.0. Also don’t forget to edit the ipWhitelist.

Still having just a white blank screen on my PI, but with the web browser from another pc it’s working :)

I’m currently trying to do this with Debian Stretch, but the noobs image.
Anyway, the update.rc (command 18) doesn’t work here correctly, because they switched to systemd instead of system-V. There is no error, but the command doesn’t get added to the startup.
Replace the file content from step 14 to:

#! /bin/bash
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:          startMagicMirror
# Required-Start:    $all
# Required-Stop:
# Default-Start:     2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:
# Short-Description: Start MagicMirror software
### END INIT INFO
cd /home/pi/MagicMirror
node serveronly &
sleep 45
sudo xinit /home/pi/startMidori.sh

After this, replace the command 18 with:

sudo systemctl enable startMagicMirror.sh

This should lead to the following output:

startMagicMirror.sh.service is not a native service, redirecting to systemd-sysv-install.
Executing: /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install enable startMagicMirror.sh

After this continue with the manual.

It currently only shows a white screen in my case, but I have just started and maybe that’s even normal, haven’t gotten that far yet in the manual.
