Does this module work in the Server Only mode??

Hi
I am using magicmirror in a rpi 1b as a server and I am not able to run your module...
Does it work in the Server Only mode??

Thanks in advance
Alejandro

Hi.
I have not tested this in the server mode. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Perhaps the problem is not with the server mode itself, but with the browser that accesses it.
MMM-WebView uses the Electron's tag, so it is likely that it will not work unless you have an Electron-based client or browser.

Hi
Yeah, it seems it can a problem related to the browser rather than a problem related to the server mode itself.

I have seen in https://github.com/lpage30/MMM-Webview (same module from another developer???) that the he points out that "The webviews rendered by this module in MagicMirror only render in the electron browser (used by MagicMirror). I have not been able to remotely render these views in Chrome or Firefox when 'browsing' to my MagicMirror server. Many online comments indicate that webview is also considered a potential security risk (which I've waived as I control my internal mirror)."

I am afraid I haven't found any solution for this issue in the MM2 forum...

The solution I can think of would be to render it non-server only and connect with x11vnc?
