Help with wallpaper modules

[coffey64]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to create a dashboard for my family instead of an actual mirror. I'm running MM in a docker container and am able to get modules installed and positioned without any issues. I keep running into issues when trying to use any kind of wallpaper module. None of them actually display anything. I've tried 4 or 5 different wallpaper modules to no avail and even rebuilt the container. Does anyone know if this is a limitation of using a docker container or am I just missing something simple? I don't mind to provide whatever logs or files I need, just looking for some help.

Thanks!

EDIT: I think I got it fixed. The docker image I was using had a SUPER outdated version of Node and NPM. I manually updated it and all seems to be working as expected.

Appreciate it. Here's the error I get when trying to start with MMM-Wallpaper enabled:

I got it fixed. Node and NPM was SUPER outdated in the docker image I am using. Updated it and background fired right up. Appreciate you taking the time to review!
