    • RE: MMM-NOAAForecast install fails

      That did it. Had to do a “docker restart mm” also before the screen updated correctly. Thanks for your help.

    • MMM-NOAAForecast install fails

      I’ve tried several times to install MMM-NOAAForecast and it has failed every time. When I restart MM it shows “Loading” and that is all. I went back in the logs for this last try and found the following:

      [2025-11-08 16:30:50.514] [LOG]   Initializing new module helper ... 
      [2025-11-08 16:30:50.514] [LOG]   Module helper loaded: calendar 
      [2025-11-08 16:30:50.514] [ERROR] Error when loading MMM-NOAAForecast: Cannot find module 'needle'

      [2025-11-08 16:30:50.516] [LOG]   Initializing new module helper ...
      
      

      I was using MMM-CONFIG installer to do the install. This is MM on Docker. Dell Inspiron running Ubuntu 24.02.

    • RE: Just upgrade MM and weather app with openweathermap is busted.

      I believe there is a different URL for the V3 key. It is something I would do, put in a new key and not change the URL.

      @TAGinside said in MMM-ISS-Live error 153:

      @karsten13

      @karsten13 made some changes to the environment of the module on github, I reloaded the module and the error is gone. Thanks for the help, sorry it took so long to acknowledge the fix.

    • RE: Modules fetching online/network info fail to refresh

      @TAGinside Using MMM-Config, many thanks to sdetweil/MMM-Config, I now have a new config.js that offers many more options for the default Weather modules. I wondered if mine was updating regularly so In kept notes of the temp and time I checked and things were working properly. Below is the contents of the default weather module config. Note they have an “updateInterval: 600000” in the second instance which should be about 10 minutes.

      Hope this helps,

    • MMM-ISS-Live error 153

      Running MM V2.33.0 on Docker. I installed MMM-ISS-Live but it only shows this error message: “Error 153
      Video player configuration error”

      I have done some research and found that I need to add " referrerpolicy=“strict-origin-when-cross-origin” " to the IFrame. I looked at the MMM-ISS-Live.js file, found a section dealing with IFrame and inserted the policy statement following the format of the other Iframe statements. That change alone did not fix the problem, same error message after restarting MM.

      I noticed several references to electron and now I’m wondering if this module will even run under Docker.

      Any suggestions/thoughts greatly appreciated.

      I wanted to mark this one solved,but couldn’t get to it. I found a spelling error that fixed it. Bottom does not have 3 t’s :)
      Now there is a problem with the video not playing and I’m looking for a work around. I think it is way out of my knowledge base to fix it though.

      Thanks for replying.

    • New modules don't display

      Running MM on docker. Trying to install a new module, MMM-ISS-Live, download it into magicmirror/mounts/modules/MMM-ISS-Live. Ran npm install and updated config.js for the new module.

      When I restart the mm module and open MM the default modules are there but nothing for the module I just installed. MM logs does not show any errors for the module. The quadrant, bottom_left, is empty so no conflicts there.

      Any ideas on where to look for the problem?

    • RE: MM with Docker

      @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.

    • MM with Docker

      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.

    • RE: MMM-NewsFeedTicker

      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"
              },
      	{

              }
            ]
          }
         },
      

      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.
