Hi MBcom,

Seems like a good project. Any demo we can create?

Thanks

Hi @hapishyguy,

Thanks for your interest in Kiosk Manager!

Regarding a demo, the best way to get a feel for the project currently is to check out the documentation. It contains some ui images now.

You can get insights into how to display content on screens by looking at the guide for creating playlists here:
https://mbcom.github.io/kioskmanager/content-manager-guide/creating-playlists.html

And for information on how to add content to the library, this guide will be helpful:
https://mbcom.github.io/kioskmanager/content-manager-guide/managing-content-items.html

Additionally, the GIF at the bottom of the main project page gives a good visual hint of what it can look like on your screens:
https://mbcom.github.io/kioskmanager/

Hope this helps you get a better idea of the project!

You could also run the project locally. See https://github.com/MBcom/kioskmanager?tab=readme-ov-file#development-guide for more details.

Thanks! I saw those.
If you need any space for demo for others let me know.
Any service/server/VPS you recommend. I mostly use hostinger.
Thanks!

Hi mbcom,

Any service you recommend where I can install it and check in easy way. I read the instructions and I am not familiar.

Thanks

Hi @hapishyguy ,
sorry, for my late response. Thank you very much for the offer to assist with hosting.
There is currently no demo mode in the Kiosk manager. I'll think of something else here.

The easiest way to try out Kiosk Manager yourself is to run it locally. Simply follow these instructions: https://github.com/MBcom/kioskmanager?tab=readme-ov-file#development-guide

If you want to run it without Kubernetes but within Docker, you need your own Postgres server. You must specify the connection data in environment variables:

• DATABASE_PASSWORD - DB password
• DATABASE_HOST - DNS or IP of your Postgres server
• DATABASE_NAME - DB name
• DATABASE_USER - DB Username

You must also set the following variables:

• ADMIN_PASSWORD: admin User Login Password
• CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS: Root URL under which your deployment is accessible

The app starts on port 8000, to which you would have to set up a reverse proxy.

If you want to host it in a Kubernetes, then https://microk8s.io/#install-microk8s is a good local variant and otherwise any other Kubernetes cluster.

Let me know if I can assist you further or if you want to schedule a meet
