Add warning message to MagicMirrorOS

Open tfischer4765 opened this issue 1 year ago • 7 comments

MagicMirrorOS, while a cool idea, seems to be unmaintained and quite outdated, to the point where packages on the host system can't be updated easily without expert knowledge.

A warning should be added to the installation method in https://docs.magicmirror.builders/getting-started/installation.html#magicmirroros to notify users of potential problems and security issues using it.

its not part of the base MagicMirror.

its developed and owned by a user just like you.

The documentation I linked however IS owned and operated by the MagicMirror core team, is it not?

tfischer4765 avatar Aug 24 '24 16:08 tfischer4765

yes. in this case we should remove that entry.

yes. in this case we should remove that entry.

I dont want to remove that useful information. As we already state on top of the paragraph:

"The following installation methods are not maintained by the MagicMirror² core team. Use these scripts and methods at your own risk."

Maybe its enough to put this into a yellow Attention Box to make it clearer?

i personally hate that sentence, "use at your own risk", given how much time i put into install and upgrade

it was updated ~2 weeks ago and uses actual raspian os lite images as base

Why yes it has been. I'll try it to see if the issues have been addressed and let you know the verdict

@tfischer4765

no feedback: I will close this otherwise: I will move this to the documentation repo
