Porteus

I've downloaded and installed the Kiosk-Server to a VirtualBox VM. It never asked me to assign a computer name or anything and now I'm trying to figure out what to put into the Client configuration for Kiosk-Server. Is there a default server name or something I have both the Server and Client on the same VirtualBox so I have no IP identifier for each. Sorry for being such a newbie.

Hello kmcardle,

Please reinstall the Server -> choose version "Premium" -> send Server ID to sales@porteus-kiosk.org and i'll activate a 30 days free trial for you.
After installation you can find server IP address by clicking the icon in the task bar or directly in terminal (type 'ifconfig' command).

For the client you need to provide server IP address/domain:port and client ID number (must be unique per client).
Examples: or More info:

Thank you. I'll send the email tomorrow. My new issue is that my Kiosk isn't available. Kind of weird since it works from another VM with the Porteus ISO loaded. And I can SSH from it and ping internet sites. Too tired tonight to look at it. I'll check that in the morning too.

Thanks again.

Sorry I neglected to say thank you. Problem solved.
I'll be in touch as we plan to move ahead with the project.
