Raspberry Pis are wonderful tools to use for digital signage. They're inexpensive, they can be connected to commodity TVs and have reasonably good web rendering performance for most signage applications. This tool allows one to deploy a fleet of Raspberry Pis that can have centralized management, where one can specify which URL each Pi should display.
This app works best when run inside a Docker container.
- Clone this repo to your system
- Add your google oauth keys to production.ini in the velruse.google.* fields (https://console.developers.google.com)
