It is designed for digital signage and single-purpose web application deployments, locking the device to a single webpage or a rotating set of pages. The system reads its startup URL and other kiosk parameters from plain text configuration files on the boot partition, allowing settings to be changed without reflashing the device. It includes a pre-configured VNC server for remote viewing and control of the kiosk display, and can embed the device's unique hardware serial number into requested URLs for server-side device-specific content delivery. FullPageOS also supports automatic rotation between multiple webpages on a timed schedule and customizable boot splash screens. The project provides a build system for creating custom bootable disk images with branded splashscreens and pre-configured browser extensions, enabling distribution of tailored kiosk deployments. ## Tags ### User Interface & Experience - [Kiosk Linux Distributions](https://awesome-repositories.com/f/user-interface-experience/kiosk-modes/kiosk-linux-distributions.md) — Boots directly into a full-screen web browser without a desktop environment, locking the device to a single web application. - [Raspberry Pi Kiosk Distributions](https://awesome-repositories.com/f/user-interface-experience/kiosk-modes/kiosk-linux-distributions/raspberry-pi-kiosk-distributions.md) — A Linux distribution for Raspberry Pi that turns the device into a web kiosk with VNC remote access and hardware serial number embedding. - [Browser Tab Rotators](https://awesome-repositories.com/f/user-interface-experience/automated-content-rotation/browser-tab-rotators.md) — Cycles through multiple browser tabs on a timed schedule to display different web content automatically. - [Browser Tab Rotators](https://awesome-repositories.com/f/user-interface-experience/automatic-view-rotations/browser-tab-rotators.md) — Switches between several pre-configured webpages automatically using the built-in FullPageDashboard application.
