This release rebuilds the project on top of Raspbian Lite (i.e. Debian), instead of Ubuntu MATE.

Updates & improvements:

  • Image size is significantly smaller (half the size of the original)
  • Works across the whole hardware lineup (Raspberry Pi 1, 2 & 3)
  • Boot graphics are now visible for a larger percentage of the startup process (both boot & browser startup)
  • The first-boot document is now bundled with the image (so it works even when the first boot happens without an internet connection)
  • System configuration is a lot simpler with the raspi-config utility available directly on VTY2
  • Rebuild has been scripted to a much larger degree

Tech specs:

  • Linux: Raspbian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch)
  • Raspbian: Lite release 2018-06-27
  • Kernel: Linux 4.14.50-v7+
  • Chromium: Chromium 65.0.3325.181

You can verify correctly downloaded & decompressed files with:

$ openssl sha1 chilipie-kiosk-*
SHA1(chilipie-kiosk-2.0.0.img)= dc28316e1e62c14ec48a8374cc0a0c03399de924
SHA1(chilipie-kiosk-2.0.0.img.tar.gz)= 383501edcb6c1ec611acad3de503d03875cf7a8b

Thanks @olpeh for providing feedback for the release candidates!
