RaspiKiosk

A simply way to have a Raspberry Pi in kiosk mode.

Motivation

I needed to see a web page with monitoring data, so I simply need a monitor displaying a web page.

Parts

A Rasperry Pi.

Setup

Once installed the OS be sure you have installed:

• Clone the repo
• chromium: see http://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/44384/how-to-get-chromium-on-raspberry-3
• matchbox: apt-get install -y matchbox-window-manager

Customization

Edit startx_kiosk.sh and change the URL on the line:

matchbox-window-manager & chromium --kiosk URL

for instance:

matchbox-window-manager & chromium --kiosk http://github.com

Run

Be sure startx_kiosk.sh has execution permissions doing:

chmod u+x startx_kiosk.sh

and execute it

./startx_kiosk.sh &
