Yeah, the idea was to just display a nice SVG + CSS + HTML clock with Chromium running in full-screen mode (screensaver off etc.). I know it is not the most efficient option but I was surprised that RPi struggled with opening a HTML page on localhost.

- elcritch 6y agoI'm running RPi3's in Kiosk mode with a somewhat complicated UI (realtime graphs and such). It's a bit slower on some actions, but plenty usable. If you want to try it again sometime and are up for trying Elixir, look into the Nerves based kiosk. It builds an image specifically for the RPi3, and you can run Phoenix LiveView and entire system for less than a hundred megs of ram: https://github.com/nerves-web-kiosk/webengine_kiosk https://github.com/nerves-web-kiosk/webengine_kiosk
