Welcome to chilipie-kiosk

Looks like this might be your first boot! This document lists some things you can do to customize your kiosk. You'll want to plug in a keyboard at this point.

Setting the URL

Press F11 to exit the full screen mode, and Ctrl + L to focus the location bar. Navigate away! Once done, press F11 again to re-enter full screen mode.

Chromium is configured to remember the URL where you left off (and all logins etc), so this might be all the configuration you need to do!

Getting a terminal

You can get a virtual terminal by pressing e.g. Ctrl + Alt + F5, and logging in with pi:raspberry. Use Ctrl + Alt + F8 to switch back to the window manager.

Enabling SSH

The default credentials of pi:raspberry aren't terribly secure, so remote access is disabled by default. To enable SSH until next reboot:

$ systemctl start ssh.service

Or, to enable it permanently:

$ systemctl enable ssh.service

Use ifconfig to figure out your IP address, and ssh in.

Controlling the display

The scripts ~/display-on.sh and ~/display-off.sh control the HDMI output of the Raspberry Pi.

There's also a sample configuration in the crontab (use crontab -e to uncomment it) for turning the display off outside of office hours.
