# 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!
|
|
|
|
## What to show
|
|
|
|
Whatever, the Internet is your oyster! If you need simple auto-refresh, or timed cycling through several URL's, [`sideshow`](https://github.com/mieky/sideshow) is a great option.
|
|
|
|
## Getting a terminal
|
|
|
|
You can get to 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 WiFi
|
|
|
|
Set the SSID and password of the network you're connecting to, with:
|
|
|
|
$ sudo vim ~/wlan.conf
|
|
|
|
Reboot to make sure your Pi joins the network automatically.
|
|
|
|
## 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:
|
|
|
|
$ sudo systemctl start ssh.service
|
|
|
|
Or, to enable it permanently:
|
|
|
|
$ sudo 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 a sample configuration in the crontab for turning the display off outside of office hours - use `crontab -e` to uncomment it.
