@sprior said in auto recovery from mirror freeze:

Not normally no, but for some things you can grant a hole in the container to allow direct access to some things

that is exactly the same…

the app (jenkins, chrome) running on the docker host can access the service in the container…

it is NOT the other way…

the thing in the container can invoke things on the docker host

anyhow… pm2’s JOB is to launch and keep running apps.

you can use it for anything.

I have a system where I launch the spotify service (raspotify), the camera motion detector (motion) and magicMirror on two different screens…

I can kill any of them and pm2 will relaunch whatever has ended…

SO, the thing being launched cannot ‘end’…

I’ve been looking for a simple way to build a dashboard for the home automation system I wrote, even if worst case it’s just a good example of node.js programming to start from. I previously looked at NODE-RED, but found that it had some limitations that rule it out.

One big requirement for me is to be able to display images - for example if a motion detector outside trips I get a MQTT notification on a topic and I’d like to be able to display a picture on the mirror taken from the camera in that area. The image could be the entire background of the display, or it could be in a window.

Is anyone aware of any examples where someone has used MM in a home monitoring type situation? I would assume this sort of thing has been done before.
