Raspberry Pi and Linux Kiosk Setup

Raspberry Pi and Linux Kiosk Setup

Weekaroo works well as a local wall display on a Raspberry Pi, mini PC, spare laptop, or Linux kiosk machine.

Basic run

git clone https://github.com/Fins1600/weekaroo.git
cd weekaroo
chmod +x install.sh run-dashboard.sh run-demo.sh
INSTALL_DESKTOP_SHORTCUT=0 ./install.sh
OPEN_BROWSER=0 ./run-dashboard.sh

Open Chromium to:

http://127.0.0.1:4020

Chromium kiosk command

chromium-browser --kiosk --app=http://127.0.0.1:4020

On some distributions the executable is named chromium instead:

chromium --kiosk --app=http://127.0.0.1:4020

LAN viewing

From another device on the same network:

http://<dashboard-computer-ip>:4020

Do not expose port 4020 directly to the internet. If you need remote access, put authentication and HTTPS in front of it.

Demo mode on a kiosk machine

OPEN_BROWSER=0 ./run-demo.sh

Then open the same local or LAN URL above.
