PiSignage

Best solution so far

  • Easy installation (flash, run, navigate to shown URL)
  • Web-based configuration
  • Can display grafana dashboards
  • Can cycle through multiple URLs
  • SSH enabled by default, user pi with pw pi
  • No configuration provisioning
  • Logs are at /home/pi/piSignagePro/*.log

Issues:

  • nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf is mananged by resolvconf (points to 127.0.0.1), and doesn't use the DHCP-provided nameserver which breaks local DNS lookup. Manually setting it works though.

Screenly

Very nice, just flash it and run it, it will show the URL to the management web interface. Can cycle though different URLs. BUT:
