Can replay kiosk be run headless?

Open kezarjg opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

I'd like to run the replay kiosk on a headless computer that is also running the timer interface.

Is this a supported configuration?

Most browsers require some user action to allow access to the camera, so you'd probably need a keyboard or mouse when first setting up. You could unplug things after that if that helps.

OK. So, there isn't a CLI for a kiosk?

Have a look at extras/scripts/kiosk.sh, which starts a non-replay kiosk for various browsers. You could see if there's a CLI to launch a browser that also affords access to the camera(s), but I don't know of any.
