Hey Folks, I’ve made a couple kiosks in the past around the house, but I’m hoping there’s an easier solution out there. Previously I’d install raspbian or something on to a pi and then remote into a full-screened chromium to set it up.

Does anyone know of a good OS that theoretically boot directly to a URL with minimal effort? Like I said I can do it manually but I’d like something pre-built for the task.

Bonus points if it would have a web-configurator, I may want to change the URL it’s using occasionally and it’d be nice not to have to remote in directly.

    If your doing this on a pi with raspian, both of these packages should be available. You can run sudo apt install cage cog in a terminal to install both of them.

      Oh. Well that’s simple then. From their docs it didn’t sound like it was in the repos. Cool then!
