@sdetweil Sam, Thanks for the pointer. I looked for the instructions but missed them some how. Tried to install a different image yesterday but it crashed with missing files. I’ll let you know how this works out for me. I’m practicing right now before I try to do it on my RPI5.

@sdetweil Sam, I can’t believe how simple it was and I just over looked it in the docs. Thanks for being so patient with me.

@schlomm Thanks, I understand, download new module files.

@sdetweil Sam, I installed your config module but it does not display on the screen. I tried moving it to the bottom-right but no difference. I tried to reinstall it w/ npm install, no help.

This is the portion of the config.js for MMM-config. I added the restart entry because I wanted it to restart after an change to the file.
{
module:“MMM-Config”,
position:“bottom_right”,
// the QR code (if requested) will appear here
config:{
restart:“docker”,
}
{,

As far as I know I have followed all the directions.

@sdetweil Sam, It is working WOW. :) Now the question is can I move the modules I have on the old system over to this one and modifiy the config file? I’m going to install your config module also.

@sdetweil Sam, I saw your module yesterday while browsing the 3rd party modules list. I will definitely take download your module. Thanks.

Hi, I’m trying to get MM to run on Docker. Right now I’m practicing on my laptop. I have Docker installed and working and have been through the start of their tutorial. I’m trying to figure out how to download the image from https://github.com/khassel/magicmirror which appears to be the best one of the list I found. I tried Docker pull and got an error: invalid reference format. I cloned the image to my computer and tried to run build but it failed because of no dockerfile. I haven’t the least idea what base image it would use or any dependencies needed.

I’m new fairly new to MM and want to put it on an RPI5 with a 256Gb SSD, planning on running as ServerOnly, so I want to use docker to be able to do something beside run MM like maybe a small NAS. I know I’m pushing my envelope but at my age, 79, I’m not sure how much envelope I have left.

Any helpful hints are greatly appreciated.

Sam, here is the URL origin https://github.com/justjim1220/MMM-NewsFeedTicker (fetch)

It was my bad for trying to shorten the title by leaving off the MMM-. Sorry won’t do that again.

Here is the config I am using:

{
    module: "MMM-NewsFeedTicker",
    position: "bottom_bar",
    //classes: "day_scheduler",
    config: {
      feeds: [

        {
          title: "WFTS News",
          url: "https://www.abcactionnews.com/news.rss",
          customLogo: "wftslogo.png"
        },
	{
          title: "WFTS Local News",
          url: "https://www.abcactionnews.com/news/local-news.rss",
          customLogo: "wftslogoSm.png"
        }
      ]
    }
   },

I appreciate your help. I just want to display the headline and not the start of the article. But I have not seen anything that I recognize as controlling that as a feature.

I’m using NewFeedTicker for my local news RSS feed. Is there a way to get just the headlines and not the start of the article? I’m still trying to figure out some of the timing and would prefer to see more headlines and less from the actual articles. I don’t see anything about it on the github page. Any suggestions are welcome. THX

OK, that helps make sense now.

Thanks
