@sdetweil Thanks!

I copied the config.js.sample to config.js before running the downgrade commands.

After downgrading and rebooting, the Magic Mirror showed up on my Pi 0 with the default configuration.

@sdetweil said in Installing on a Pi Zero:

sudo npm -i npm@6

I got an error. Thanks for helping out, this is a new build so I don’t mind if it gets messed up and I need to start over.

$ sudo npm -i npm@6

@sdetweil Thanks, error log emailed. Ive done this process before without error ~9 months ago. Maybe the rasbian version or magic mirror version has changed recently that is now causing the problem.

@sdetweil said in Installing on a Pi Zero:

pm2 logs --lines=100

This just the Magic Mirror base. I haven’t added any extra modules.

Unfortunately I cannot paste the pm2 logs output. When I try it gets caught in some sort of spam filter and won’t let me post.

@sdetweil , I went through a fresh SD card install for a Pi Zero W. raspbian and then the raspberry.sh script via your github page. I believe everything completed without error.

However when Magic Mirror launches on reboot, I get a blank page indicating:

This site can’t be reached
localhost refused to connect

Any idea what to do to troubleshoot?

Hi all, Please bare with me since I’m not totally understanding the pm2 service. I setup Magic Mirror on a Raspberry Pi0 with @sdetweil scripts. I can manually start Magic Mirror fine, but it does not start when I do a reboot of my pi. Any idea how to fix?

After reboot, I see this in pm2 status:

pi@mm1:~ $ pm2 status

When I check the pm2 log, I see:

I can start Magic Mirror manually by issuing:

Thanks!

@sdetweil Thanks! It is much more clear now. My screen size truncated the “apply” parameter at the end of the line. Now that I scroll horizontally I see the “apply”. Thanks again for the feedback.

Thanks for the reply. I did read that but it just seemed a little confusing since it was the same bash command. I haven’t run the upgrade script yet, so it might be more clear when I do but i guess the script knows if it’s been run a 2nd time?

@sdetweil said in Installing on a Pi Zero:

@RushHour99 yes, note that u have to run two times.

Thanks! Out of curiosity, why do I need to run it 2 times? I would have missed that detail if you didn’t’ let me know.

@sdetweil My Magic Mirror install on a Pi Zero has been running great. I see an alert now that there is a Magic Mirror Update available. Do I just run your upgrade-script.sh to bring my Pi Zero install up to date with Magic Mirror v2.13.0?
