For the Raspberry Pi
Kiosk Display
A Raspberry Pi with a screen becomes a full-screen display for one web page.
About
A Raspberry Pi with a screen becomes a full-screen display for one web page. Dashboards, menu boards, signage, a status wall.
Notes
Turn a Raspberry Pi with a screen into a full-screen web display: it boots straight into a Chromium window showing the web address you choose — a dashboard, a menu board, digital signage, a status page. No mouse, no desktop, no window borders.
Change the address any time from obacht and the display reloads on the new page. Raspberry Pi only, and it needs Power Mode unlocked (the display session runs on the host, outside the container sandbox).
Requires a Raspberry Pi OS **with desktop** (the Chromium browser and a Wayland compositor must already be installed) and a connected screen. While the kiosk is active the normal desktop login is turned off; remove the kiosk (or lock Power Mode) to get it back.

We couldn't find a donation channel for labwc. As long as there is none, this app costs nothing.
Run it on your own hardware.
Obacht is in a closed pilot phase. Put yourself on the list. We let people in a few at a time, so it can take a while.
