Deployment

PlaceOS recommends using ChromeOS for simplified management and deployment of web based applications. https://www.aopen.com/US_en/products/os/chromeos

It is possible to have the organizations Standard Operating Environment (SOE) imaging team create an image for a playback computer such as a NUC or compute stick https://www.aopen.com/NZ_en/products/embedded_pc/digital-signage-media-players https://store.mele.cn/pages/pc-stick-series

The requirements are:

  1. Launch chrome or edge in kiosk mode https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-configure-kiosk-mode
  2. Launch a generic bootstrap page we provide: https://<placeos.domain.com>/signage/#/bootstrap
  3. Ensure media playback is automatic:
msedge --kiosk https://your-url --kiosk-type=fullscreen \
--autoplay-policy=no-user-gesture-required
chrome --kiosk https://your-url \
--autoplay-policy=no-user-gesture-required \
--disable-features=MediaSessionService

The bootstrap page allows you to rollout the hardware and select the display it represents after it has been installed. Simplifying management of the computer images and rollout. alt text
