## Description

Anthias is a digital signage management system used to schedule and display images, videos, and web pages across a fleet of screens. It functions as a Docker-based device orchestrator that deploys containerized software across networked hardware units via a centralized interface.

The platform includes a web-based content scheduler to control the timing, duration, and visibility of media assets using specific date and time windows. Administration is handled through a secure gateway that utilizes a reverse proxy and TLS termination to manage remote display devices over HTTPS.

The system covers digital content rendering, remote fleet administration, and software deployment. It also provides mechanisms for cloud asset migration and the injection of custom certificate authority trusts into the system store to fetch assets from private servers.
