An Hardware Accelerated Raspberry Pi Kiosk

This installer bootstraps WPE WebKit via Node.js, Weston, and cog.

How to install?

Follow ArchLinuxARM instructions for Pi 2, Pi 3, or Pi 4.

At the very first boot from the SD card, login via alarm user and alarm password, be sure your Pi is connected to the internet, either via network cable, or WiFi (su -c wifi-menu), and then type the following:

bash <(curl -s https://archibold.io/kiosk/pi/wpe)

Follow the instructions, wait 10 to 20 minutes for the raspberry to reboot, enjoy the HW accelerated jellyfish demo.

How can I customize it?

The Node.js file will be located in ~/www/index.js and you can change it as you like, or even drop it, if you don't need Node.js.

In such case, you can point ~/.config/weston.ini to point at different executable on boot.

Is this like Electron / B.E.N.J.A.?

It's not, the browser is WPE built with all options on, but you need Electroff to have a similar experience you would have with Electron.
