@sdetweil Thanks for pointing me at MMM-RemoteControl. I will try this as a first unidirectional approach.

In the long run, it would be great if we had two-way module / MM core capability that could communicate with node clientonly instances. I think the need for this will increase, as more and more MM-instances might be hosted within a Docker image.

Dear all,

I plan to use a docker version of MagicMirror as serveronly to have a speedy backend while keeping the low profile clientonly Raspberry Pi as frontend behind my home mirror.

Is it possible for those two endpoints to share data in a way, that I could forward local button presses/gpio input to the docker-version to trigger actions on the screen or playback audio through the local Raspberry Pi?

Thanks for any ideas!

Hi everyone,

I have a fresh install of MagicMirror 2.4.1 running on a Raspberry PI 3b and am try to connect it to a MM-instance that is running in a Docker on my Synology using node clientonly. I can access the MM2 Docker server-version at 192.0.0.95:9090 in the local network without problems from different browsers.

If I start MM2 on the Raspberry Pi (locally via npm start or remotely via DISPLAY=:0 npm start), the local sample config.js-file runs fine with MM2 and pulls online information. I get no errors.

If I execute DISPLAY=:0 node clientonly --address 192.0.0.95 --port 9090 via SSH (or the pendant locally), I get

Client: Starting MagicMirror: v2.4.1
Client: Launching application.
Client: libGL error: Client: MESA-LOADER: failed to retrieve device information
Client: MESA-LOADER: failed to retrieve device information
Client: MESA-LOADER: failed to retrieve device information

and a black screen afterwards. It would be great if anybody had an idea how to solve this.

Thanks for your help!

@j.e.f.f Ah - you are using the moments-timeformat. Now it works :)
I was confused, as the timeformat in the config.js was either “12” or “24”.
Thanks for the clarification!

@j.e.f.f Now its working again, but the timeformat still does not show up in the 24h format:

Thanks a lot and greetings from Germany.

@j.e.f.f It worked before your update and I did not change anything.
The relevant part is:

Hi @j.e.f.f,
I have just tried the new commit you made today. Unfortunately, the module does not load anymore and shows only “loading”. The console does not throw any error. Do I have to change something in my config-file to adapt to the changes you made?

Hi @strawberry-3.141,
thanks for creating this great module! Would any of the following be possible?

• hide the distance column
• show the prices of pre-selected gas stations
• show e.g. the three cheapest plus some pre-selected gas stations
