You should make the forum have ads if the person is not logged in. That should generate some income.

Also a voluntary donation is easy to setup and I really enjoyed the project so far and would be willing to give a donation as I think most would.

Another option would be have paid plugins. For example I have been bashing my head trying to get the analytics plugin to work. I would be willing to pay for it.

Good luck and I hope everything works out for you.

I have tried this on multiple installations and it just seems broken. Maybe google changed the API or something. I also do not think the original creator is coming back.

There should be a way to mark projects dead. I wasted a good bit of time on this.

I had a need to run MagicMirror in server mode in a docker container to do some testing. Since I am fairly new to docker I had to do a lot of google searching to get everything working (especially the volumes and networking). I wrote this how-to to guide you through the docker install process, pulling and running the MagicMirror image, and basic configuration. I hope someone finds it useful.

@clemy I am having the same issue. I would LOVE to have this working!

I wrote this tutorial up after I got my PIR sensor working and though it might help some folks. If not admins can feel free to delete this thread.

https://www.putorius.net/2019/01/using-pir-sensor-for-motion-detection.html

I am using pm2 and it’s startup scripts to start MM on boot on my pi 3. I tried several different ordering techniques including:

[Unit]
Description=PM2 process manager
Documentation=https://pm2.keymetrics.io/
Wants=network-online.target
After=network.target network-online.target
....
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target network-online.target

For some reason nothing works and I keep getting auth errors on my modules and a constant Loading text in my calendar.

I resorted to writing this in my MM startup script to wait for a ping:

((count = 100))
while [[ $count -ne 0 ]] ; do
    ping -c 1 8.8.8.8
    rc=$?
    if [[ $rc -eq 0 ]] ; then
        ((count = 1))
    fi
    ((count = count - 1))
done

if [[ $rc -eq 0 ]] ; then
	cd ~/MagicMirror
	DISPLAY=:0 npm start
fi

Anyone else have any ideas?

I just blew away the docker image and did a new pull and it is fixed and on 2.6.0.

grep version package.json

“version”: “2.6.0”,

@idoodler No I did not change the default directory at all. That is why this is so odd to me.

@bhepler maybe.

but I saw that the originator of the docker image said it was updated daily with a cronjob on this post:

@bastilimbach Any help?
