So instead of downloading Raspbian and putting this on your sd card, you can use MagicMirrorOS instead.

If you want to run MagicMirrorВІ (in server only mode) in a kubernetes cluster then take a look at this MagicMirror Helm Chart.

Docker Setup by bastilimbach (currently unmaintained, only server only mode).

Sam long time contributor of the MagicMirrorВІ framework) maintains a easy to use installation and update script:.

Use these scripts and methods at your own risk. The following installation methods are not maintained by the MagicMirrorВІ core team. Do not interrupt or you risk getting a рџ’” by Raspberry Jam. The installation step for npm install -only=prod -omit=dev will take a very long time, often with little or no terminal response! For the RPi3 this is ~10 minutes and for the Rpi2 ~25 minutes.

Make a copy of the config sample file: cp config/config.js.sample config/config.js.

Install the application: npm install -only=prod -omit=dev.

Clone the repository and check out the master branch: git clone.

Download and install the latest Node.js version:.

Available automatic installers can be found under: alternative installation methods. Using external installation scripts is at your own risk but can make the process a lot easier.

Therefore the only officially supported way of installation is by using a manual installation. For more information about this decision, please check issue #1860 on GitHub. At the start of 2020 the decision was made to remove the automatic installer from the MagicMirrorВІ core repository and move it to a community maintained separate repository. The Magic Mirror can be installed manually or using automatic installers.
