A Raspberry Pi distribution to display one webpage in full screen. It includes Chromium out of the box and the scripts necessary to load it at boot. This repository contains the source script to generate the distribution out of an existing Raspbian distro image.
FullPageOS is a fork of OctoPi
FullPageOS is 100% free and open source and maintained by Guy Sheffer. If its helping your life, your organisation or makes you happy, please consider making a donation. It means I can code more and worry less about my balance. Any amount counts.
Official mirror is here
Nightly builds are available here (currently built on demand)
- Unzip the image and install it to an SD card like any other Raspberry Pi image
- Configure your WiFi by editing
fullpageos-wpa-supplicant.txt
on the first partition of the flashed card when using it like a flash drive - Boot the Pi from the SD card
- Log into your Pi via SSH (it is located at
fullpageos.local
if your computer supports bonjour or the IP address assigned by your router), default username is "pi", default password is "raspberry", change the password using thepasswd
command and expand the filesystem of the SD card through the corresponding option when runningsudo raspi-config
.
- Raspberry Pi 2 and newer or device running Armbian. Older Raspberry Pis are not currently supported. See Raspberry Pi and Raspberry Pi.
- 2A power supply
- Loads Chromium at boot in full screen
- Webpage can be changed from /boot/fullpageos.txt
- You can use variable {serial} in the url to get device's serialnumber in the URL
- Default app is FullPageDashboard, which lets you add multiple tabs changes that switch automatically.
- Ships with preconfigured X11VNC, for remote connection (password 'raspberry')
- qemu-arm-static
- CustomPiOS
- Downloaded Raspbian image.
- root privileges for chroot
- Bash
- realpath
- sudo (the script itself calls it, running as root without sudo won't work)
FullPageOS can be built from Debian, Ubuntu, Raspbian, or even FullPageOS. Build requires about 2.5 GB of free space available. You can build it by issuing the following commands:
sudo apt-get install realpath p7zip-full qemu-user-static git clone https://github.com/guysoft/CustomPiOS.git git clone https://github.com/guysoft/FullPageOS.git cd FullPageOS/src/image wget -c --trust-server-names 'https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspbian_lite_latest' cd .. ../../CustomPiOS/src/update-custompios-paths sudo modprobe loop sudo bash -x ./build_dist
FullPageOS supports building variants, which are builds with changes from the main release build. An example and other variants are available in the folder src/variants/example
.
To build a variant use:
sudo bash -x ./build_dist [Variant]
See Building with docker entry in wiki
There is a vagrant machine configuration to let build FullPageOS in case your build environment behaves differently. Unless you do extra configuration, vagrant must run as root to have nfs folder sync working.
Make sure you have a version of vagrant later than 1.9!
If you are using older versions of Ubuntu/Debian and not using apt-get from the download page.
To use it:
sudo apt-get install vagrant nfs-kernel-server virtualbox sudo vagrant plugin install vagrant-nfs_guest sudo modprobe nfs cd FullPageOS/src/vagrant sudo vagrant up
After provisioning the machine, its also possible to run a nightly build which updates from devel using:
cd FullPageOS/src/vagrant run_vagrant_build.sh
To build a variant on the machine simply run:
cd FullPageOS/src/vagrant run_vagrant_build.sh [Variant]
- If needed, override existing config settings by creating a new file
src/config.local
. You can override all settings found insrc/config
. If you need to override the path to the Raspbian image to use for building OctoPi, override the path to be used inZIP_IMG
. By default, the most recent file matching*-raspbian.zip
found insrc/image
will be used. - Run
src/build_dist
as root. - The final image will be created in
src/workspace
Code contribution would be appreciated!
