Kiosk Mode with Umbrel #184

Closed jeffrey-l-turner closed 3 years ago

jeffrey-l-turner commented 3 years ago

I'm completely new to this project and working through the source code. Is there a simple way to run it in kiosk mode? I'd like to attach a touch screen interface to the Raspberry Pi and make it so I can interact with it like an appliance. Thank you for any thoughts/responses.

I've already shared this on Telegram: Step 1: Turn off the node Step 2: Download Umbrel OS from https://github.com/UmbrelOS-Tweaks/desktop/releases/download/v0.3.2/umbrel-os-v0.3.2.zip Step 3: Remove the SD card from the Pi and install the OS you downloaded there. Step 4: Connect a monitor, press the (icon not displayed) start button in the top left corner, and open a Terminal. Step 5: Run git clone https://github.com/UmbrelOS-Tweaks/umbrel-gui Step 6: Run sudo apt-get -y install libqt5svg5-dev cmake make gcc g++ qtwebengine5-dev Step 7: Run mkdir umbrel-gui/build && cd umbrel-gui/build && cmake .. && make -j4 && ./umbrel-gui
