FullPageOS

A Raspberry Pi distribution to display a one webpage at full screen. It includes the Chromium out of the box and scripts to load it at the start. This repository contains the source script to generate the distribution out of an existing Raspbian distro image.

FullPageOS is a fork of OctoPi

Where to get it?

No mirros yet, if you can host one please open an issue or contact me.

How to use it?

1. Unzip the image and install it to an sd card like any other Raspberry Pi image
2. Configure your WiFi by editing fullpageos-network.txt on the root of the flashed card when using it like a thumb drive
3. Boot the Pi from the card
4. 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 the passwd command and expand the filesystem of the SD card through the corresponding option when running sudo raspi-config.

Features

• Loads Chromium at boot on full screen
• Webpage can be changed from /boot/fullpageos.txt

Developing

Requirements

1. qemu-arm-static
2. Downloaded Raspbian image.
3. root privileges for chroot
4. Bash
5. realpath
6. sudo (the script itself calls it, running as root without sudo won't work)

Build FullPageOS From within FullPageOS / Raspbian / Debian / Ubuntu

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 qemu-user-static

git clone https://github.com/guysoft/FullPageOS.git
cd OctoPi/src/image
curl -J -O -L  http://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspbian_latest
cd ..
sudo modprobe loop
sudo bash -x ./build

Building FullPageOS Variants

FullPageOS supports building variants, which are builds with changes from the main relesae build. An example and other variants are avilable in the folder src/variants/example.

To build a variant use:

sudo bash -x ./build [Variant]

Usage

1. If needed, override existing config settings by creating a new file src/config.local. You can override all settings found in src/config. If you need to override the path to the Raspbian image to use for building OctoPi, override the path to be used in ZIP_IMG. By default the most recent file matching *-raspbian.zip found in src/image will be used.
2. Run src/build as root.
3. The final image will be created at the src/workspace

Code contribution would be appreciated!
