Infoscreen

This repo contains an (almost) HTML-only infoscreen / digital signage solution. The solution was developed for Junction 2016.

Further development and PRs are welcome!

Setup

A HTML- and PHP-capable webserver serving a clone of a fork of this repo
- src/index.html and src/common/styles.css contains the static part
- content.json is queried to fill in the dynamic part
- index.html uses ES6 features so it doesn't work on all browsers
- different folders can be used to customize content to multiple channels (/A/, /B/, for example different right-side images)
  - symlink index.html and common from src
  - add channel-specific assets, like images
Raspberry Pi, power saving disabled and configured to open the specific channel website on start
- copy autostart to ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart
  - configure the website address and channel in autostart
- copy xscreensaver to ~/.xscreensaver
- install xscreensaver and chromium-browser
- (dunno if the xscreensaver is really needed, but at least this configuration worked)
Webhook from Github to keep the server up to date with master
- Add Github webhook that calls github.pull.php after each commit
- Allows online editing of content.json through Github.
Status display with log.php and log.html
