  • RE: Is it possible to clone an existing Magic Mirror installation on a Fresh Installation of Raspbian ?

    @sdetweil Ok i finally managed to migrate to a new SSD. However, it was not without surprises. i had to

    1. Redo a npm install on a few modules to make them work.
    2. MMM-Google photos module folder was missing the token.json file had to be recopied from backup(Thank god i had module folder on my SD)
    3. API key of MMM-OpenAi had to be recreated and stored in .env file.
    4. The PM2 did not work with the automated installation. I got an error [PM2][ERROR] File ecosystem.config.js not found. Could be an error from my side while configuring, not sure. I deleted the instance of pm2 and reinstalled manually.
      But the process was not smooth, it took some doing, but finally my new MM seems to been successfully cloned. Yet to fully check all modules.
      I have regained configuration control of the display and have been able to rotate it to Portrait mode. i am yet to check sound configuration.

  • RE: Is it possible to clone an existing Magic Mirror installation on a Fresh Installation of Raspbian ?

    @sdetweil Thanks for the reply. If i understood correctly, the steps involved would be;

    1. Run your backup script and take a backup of the existing MM installation and save it to an externally location.
    2. Install a fresh Raspberry Pi OS on the new SSD.
    3. Install MM using your script.
    4. Copy the saved MM backup directory to the new SSD MM directory.
    5. Run your restore script to restore the MM to the original configuration.

    So if these steps are followed, will just running the restore script ensure ;

    1. All dependencies will also be automatically loaded and configured?
    2. Is there any other configuration setting specially for GPIO control that may be required?
    3. Are there any other additional scripts that may be required to be run?

    Sorry for requesting for specific queries to be answered. I don’t want to goof up the installation and then spend hours to recover.
    Thanks

  • Is it possible to clone an existing Magic Mirror installation on a Fresh Installation of Raspbian ?

    Of late I am having certain issues with my OS on my Raspberry Pi 3B+ (32 GB SD Card). While there is no issue with the MagicMirror installation, configuration issues relating to display and sound of the Pi are plaguing me and no amount of update and upgrade of OS are resolving the issue. I have decided to do a fresh install of the OS onto a new SSD device. However, i want to retain the Magic Mirror installation intact, as the process of reinstalling all the modules (I have more than 15 running) would be very time consuming. I am thinking of a fresh install of MagicMirror on the SSD. However, will it be a good idea to overwrite the MagicMirror modules and config directory after the fresh install of MagicMirror with modules and config directory from the the older SD card? I have a feeling it may not work. So what is the easiest way to avoid the tedious process of migrating the MagicMirror from old SD card to new SSD? Thanks

    Okay, so i tried it out and it is working fine. Nice effort. However, You have forgotten to add the sample config.js entries, though you have given the configuration options. Is there a way to enlarge the size of the image in the configuration file?
    Thanks

    To add lines of code to configure the size of the image, you can modify the getDom function as follows:

    getDom: function() {
      var outerDiv = document.createElement("div");
      if (this.content) {
        var img = document.createElement("img");
        img.src = this.content;
        img.style.width = this.config.width || "100%"; // add this line to set the width of the image
        img.style.height = this.config.height || "auto"; // add this line to set the height of the image
        outerDiv.appendChild(img);
      } else {
        outerDiv.innerText = "No image!";
      }
      return outerDiv;
    },
    
    add this in config.js;
    {
      module: "MMM-Moon",
      position: "top_right",
      config: {
        width: "400px",      //    as per requirement
        height: "400px"       //    as per requirement
      }
    }
    

    code blocks please, by sdetweil

    Thanks for the update. Yes now it works fine. I am not getting "something is wrong’ messages, but prompts about the token lengths whenever they exceed.
    Thanks. I hope there will be voice integration soon.

    So once again some issue has cropped up. The Openai integration with Telegrambot was working fine up to now. However, now the /chatai messages are not getting displayed on the MM whereas they are getting displayed on the Telegrambot app on the phone. The /txtai and /imgai have no issues. Please help in getting it to work again.

    Can the developer please look into the issue described above. Thanks

    @dvbit
    Nice. Can you tell me how have you managed to get the portrait display on your mirror? I am struggling with my monitor to be detected by Raspbian and to flip the display.
    Thanks
