Is anyone interested into having a Kiosk desktop of the Umbrel GUI on the terminal side?

Let me know if anyone is interested and I’ll post a guide on what you need to do.

ok. To put a kiosk on the terminal:

sudo -i

apt update
apt upgrade
apt install -y xorg openbox chromium lightdm

Then select keyboard layout when prompted


useradd -m kiosk
sed -i '/#autologin-user=/c\autologin-user=kiosk' /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf 
sed -i '/#user-session=/c\user-session=openbox' /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf 
su - kiosk

mkdir -p /home/kiosk/.config/openbox
printf "chromium --kiosk http://umbrel.local" > /home/kiosk/.config/openbox/autostart
exit
reboot

Then it will show up. There might be a “page is not displayed” for a second or two until the web GUI comes online,

Enjoy
