New Install script with separate control server #2907

Closed VMI1994 closed 2 years ago

VMI1994 commented 2 years ago

Hey Michael. I know you already reference a single command install script for MagicMirror2 but I have created a new one which includes a separate control server on port 5000 to easily turn the mirror on and off as well as check the status, system info(using uptime and neofetch), and reboot/shutdown/update-upgrade functions. If you are interested you can check it out at: https://github.com/VMI1994/magic-mirror-setup. Have a great day and thanks for your open source projects.

best if you introduce that to the users and see what they think..

VMI1994 commented 2 years ago

Well please give it a try and let me know what you think(Even in a VM you trash right after). Also, how do I introduce it to the users?(I'm kinda new at this!) EDIT: I just realized that your code was the 'one' referenced in the original installation instructions. Honor to meet you! I will definitely study your code to learn what I could have done different/better/more concise. Thanks for your contributions to MagicMirror.

post a topic, here is my new thing.

for me personally there is not much value in on/off/reboot....

VMI1994 commented 2 years ago

Thanks for the feedback. Where can I find the ‘topic’ section to post? Also, is it ok if I apply some logging based on what I learn from your scripts(haven’t looked yet but plan to try to digest your code-self teaching here)?

either general or troubleshooting should get attention.

sure, on my scripts, if they can help, use whatever. ask questions if u need more info.

pretty easy tho

get env info

check on node and npm

do env setup, install/upgrade whatever

clone npm install

fixup per env. pi0w/armv6l

touch up.. css file, etc

then add on auto start and turn off screen saver

these two sections made standalone if someone changes their mind

upgrade. don't change anything unless requested

test, identify and communicate possible issues. code that would be overwritten... then check all modules that should have a refresh npm install

do all on arg apply

IF already on current release, skip apply unless force requested. its the fastest way to fix all the missing libs(request, valid-url...)

log everything so I can debug and fix

Awesome, thanks for the input. I’ll close this issue now.
