Asus Chromebox 5
My higher education institution has bought every generation of these for Digital Signage since 2014. We use an open-source (abandonware?) Ruby project called Concerto[1] to generate webpages, and the Chrome OS Kiosk Mode[2] feature to boot these things straight to chrome-less full-screen web browsers that load Concerto webpages. It's a nice setup, but I do worry about the future support of both of those pillars.

Chrome Sign Builder & folder full of JPGs
You could take a look at Concerto. A group of RPI students developed it to use as their campus signage system. I’ve deployed it twice before and it’s a pretty flexible system, you can add images, announcements, sync with an iCal. You can even add multiple users with different permissions (high school staff can only manage the high school sign).

Issues with urandom + Docker due to DSM kernel
It looks like I'm not the only person who has faced this. apache-based images require buster, for instance, and some docker images that rely on Ruby face issues too (for example, I decided to try setting up Postal but it looks like it's facing the same issues).
