Hi A.A -

_(April 2023 edit: Now you can use [the new Sync feature](https://forum.electromage.com/t/sync-call-for-beta-testers/2891) to do much of what people used Firestorm for and more, such as sharing sensor board data.)_

I haven’t used Firestorm from a Pi yet, but I think your issue could be related to how you’re trying to load Firestorm’s UI. Firestorm creates a http server, so instead of trying to access its UI from a file:/// URL, try from http://.

From Chromium on that Pi, try browsing to [http://0.0.0.0:3000/](http://0.0.0.0:3000/) and see if you get a UI that looks like this:

 ![Pixelblaze Firestorm 2019-12-30 19-40-26](https://forum.electromage.com/uploads/default/original/1X/2f90d85cfc4a41eab5d2c2a5565626476f6f871d.png)

One other thing to try. I noticed that the [Firestorm docs for Pi](https://github.com/simap/Firestorm) show the server being started via authbind instead of just `PORT=3000 yarn server`. So perhaps try following those step-by-step, culminating with:

```auto
pm2 start server.js 
pm2 save

```
