  • 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).
  • Video CMS system recommendations?

    The rest of our signage uses Xibo (on Android players), which no longer explicitly supports the rPI, but you might be able to get one of their dists to run. They offer perpetual licenses, though make sure what they have on offer will work for you.
  • Restaurant Digital Signage Options?

    /u/slugshead mentioned Xibo. They've discontinued Pi-compatible versions but run on a lot of other things. Player(client) licenses per major version are perpetual, or at least very long. I've seen some weird issues with them, don't know if it's fixed (mostly has to do with display scaling, probably related to the consumer-grade smart TVs I have to run it on).

    Xibo - Digital Signage which is slowly being rolled out across all of our sites. (I used to be the maintainer of the Ubuntu setup script back in the day)
