+[![MagicMirror²: The open source modular smart mirror platform. ](https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/raw/master/.github/header.png)](https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror)
+
+MagicMirror² is an open source modular smart mirror platform. With a growing list of installable modules, the MagicMirror² allows you to convert your hallway or bathroom mirror into your personal assistant.
+
+In some cases, you want to start the application without an actual app window. In this case, you can start MagicMirror² in server only mode by manually running node serveronly or using Docker. This will start the server, after which you can open the application in your browser of choice.
+
+## Setting up the container
+
+Go to `Containers` > `Add Container`
+
+Set *Name* to:
+```
+magicmirror
+```
+
+Set *Image* to:
+```
+bastilimbach/docker-magicmirror
+```
+
+Click `publish a new network port` next to `Manual network port publishing`.
+
+Set the host port as desired (I set `8044`) and the container port to `8080`.
+
+
+### Set the following volumes:
+
+Add this to syncronize the time of the host with the docker container.
+
+Container:
+```
+/etc/localtime:ro
+```
+
+Volume:
+
+```
+/etc/localtime
+```
+
+Mount this folder to insert your own config into the docker container. If the folder is empty the container will create a default configuration which can be adapted to you likings.
+
+Container:
+```
+/opt/magic_mirror/config
+```
+
+Volume:
+
+```
+/portainer/Files/AppData/Config/magic_mirror/config
+```
+
+Mount this folder to add your own custom modules into the docker container. If the folder is empty the container will copy the default modules from the MagicMirror² repository into the volume.
+
+Container:
+```
+/opt/magic_mirror/modules
+```
+
+Volume:
+
+```
+/portainer/Files/AppData/Config/magic_mirror/modules
+```
+
+Mount this file to add your own custom css into the docker container.
+
+**Important:** You need to create the file before you run the container otherwise Docker will create a custom.css folder. You can find the default custom.css template [here](custom.css).
+
+Container:
+```
+/opt/magic_mirror/css/custom.css
+```
+
+Volume:
+
+```
+/portainer/Files/AppData/Config/magic_mirror/config/custom.css
+```
+
+### Set the following environmental variables:
+
+Name:
+```
+TZ
+```
+
+Value: *Find you time zone [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones) and enter your appropriate value.*
+```
+Europe/London
+```
+
+### Set the restart policy:
+
+I always tend to set `Unless Stopped`
+
+### Deploy
+
+This should be all you need to deploy the basic set up, just click `Deploy the container` and head over to `yourIP:selectedPort` (In my case `192.168.1.227:8044`) and you should be greeted with the default magic mirror. Have a look through the documentation and update your settings in `/portainer/Files/AppData/Config/magic_mirror/config/` to personalise your display.
