Smart Mirror

Setup, starting and stopping

Initial setup

This repo includes a script to download and run the newest "release" (it's more like a nightly build of the main branch currently) automatically.

You would need

• 64bit system e.g. Raspberry Pi 4
• ssh, git and docker installed and setup
• a GitHub account with your ssh key connected

---

Than you simply

1. clone this repo
2. make get-release.sh executable (chmod +x get-release.sh)
3. run get-release.sh
4. smart-mirror container will be created and expose http://[HOSTNAME/IP]

Updates

Should be as simple as running get-release.sh again. It will download a new version, remove old docker images and rebuild a new container from the new image.

Some helpful commands (for me mostly 😂)
