[sdetweil]

npm run server
getting
Cannot find module 'proxy-addr'
looks like from express

https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/10859/new-update-upgrade-script-ready-for-testing/285?_=1593780454858

cannot debug more, in hospital

[MichMich]

No issues here. Did you try it with a default config?

[MichMich]

More importantly, how are you doing Sam? All well?

[khassel]

proxy-addr is used by express and express-ipfilter, but there are no version changes between MM 2.11 and 2.12

[sdetweil]

I am doing pretty good. range of motion is better than expected for 5 days, so, I'll take it!!

thx for asking

[GitHubbdream]

@MichMich Did you try it with a default config?
Just took the sample and a backed up one.
Quit interesting, as the whole MM seems to start now, but at the end I get always the same issue.
Not connecting web page.

@khassel what does it proxy-addr is used by express and express-ipfilter mean? Is there any I have to change?

@sdetweil furthe all the best wishes to you and your knee!

Best regards, bdream

[MichMich]

@GitHubbdream how did you upgrade? What commands are you using to start the mirror?

[GitHubbdream]

@MichMich I used Sams script bash -c "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/upgrade-script.sh)" which enabled me to run MM on my RPi0 💯
I changed package.json at "start" "start": "./run-start.sh",
and
pm2 flush pm2 start 0

Best regards, bdream

[GitHubbdream]

May I install from scatch an new one?

[sdetweil]

@GitHubbdream

just rename the MagicMirror folder to something else, then use my install script

[khassel]

i was only commenting the error message sam posted Cannot find module 'proxy-addr' which is strange because this dependency didn't change between MM 2.11 and 2.12

[GitHubbdream]

@khassel thank you. that make sense.

@sdetweil just installed a new with your script. All fine but installing dependencies:

reboot starts MM into black screen with mousepointer, then raspian comes up, white screen with mousepointer, black screen....

[sdetweil]

can u send me the ~/install.log?

[sdetweil]

log says there is a requested reboot before the actual .mm install phase

[GitHubbdream]

Ineresting.
Rebootet before starting the script anyway.
Just erased MagicMirror and rebooted again.
install-script started again and it works as expected.

Do I need to install all modules again or is copy from save-folder possible?

[sdetweil]

u can copy modules from save folder. if they have a package.json file remember to remove the node_modules folder and package-lock.json files and run npm install after the copy

[GitHubbdream]

@sdetweil huiii that was a long way
Brought all modules back with remove the node_modules folder and package-lock.json files and run npm install after the copy

had some issues don't know how to handle

Got the same as before :(

I copied over the original config,js and it works :D Don't know why it was not working in updated setup as MichMich mentioned to use original config.js....

Now I see the module MMM-RTSPStream fecing the issue.
Maybe that has to do with npm errors, maybe not. I'm not familair with this errors.

[sdetweil]

@GitHubbdream these are not errors but warnings. more important if you had a public facing website which could be attacked. Even tho there are issues identified, there may not be fixes, and some fixes change code such that apps have to change ( called breaking changes). I generally recommend to ignore the audit stuff as you can't fix all of them

rtpstream, sorry no idea. seems finicky based on the recurring posts to the forum

[MichMich]

So just to be sure, is this still a issue which can be replicated?

[RaspberryTech01]

I had this issue today. I tried booting up the magicmirror software with npm run start but it spat out errors. I then tried a completely fresh install only server mode worked, no errors on normal mode except that no windows would pop up after the command was ran. I have a feeling its related to nodejs, ran sudo apt update and getting many dpkg errors with it.

[sdetweil]

@RaspberryTech01 I am unsure what you said.. you should make this a new issue

was MM running before? or is this new install?
you don't need a new install to run server mode, just start a different pgm.. it has no UI.. YOU have to open a browser back to the 'server'

no errors on normal mode except that no windows would pop up after the command was ran.
no idea what that means? in server mode? or full mode?

did u use the automated install script? see the install command here
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

[RaspberryTech01]

I used the manual install script. I fixed the problem by reinstalling the whole magicmirror software and nodejs. NodeJS has dpkg problems and I had to fix that.

[MichMich]

Good to hear. Can I close this issue?

[GitHubbdream]

I was off the last time ;)

@MichMich asked: "So just to be sure, is this still a issue which can be replicated?"

I was not able to find out the reason.
I run in problems after I activated the MMM-RTSPStream Module. from the backup.

I intalled an configured MMM-RTSPStream again and it works.

As @sdetweil mentioned I had not errors but warnings while npm install again.

So, from my side nothing more to do. I can't replicate the issue. But all ist running as estimated.

Many thansk to all!

[sdetweil]

need to review apt-get upgrade for required reboot before continuing.
