html local homepage

Post#1 by davostoff » 19 Feb 2024, 09:15

Hello! I am new to porteus. I want to set up a kiosk in an office so that the public can access 2 URLs.

I would like the Firefox homepage to display 2 images, each with a link to its URL.

Thought he could do that with a local html, but How can I access the porteus files to place my index.hml there?

davostof,

1) Easiest would be to place .zip archive on some web storage then use 'run_command=' parameter to download it to the kiosk and unpack to a desired folder.

2) You may also enable persistent partition:

Code: Select all

run_command=sh /opt/scripts/persistence
then upload your files over SSH to e.g. /opt/storage/www folder.
These files will be persistent then.

Remember to enable file protocol and set the homepage as:
homepage=file:///opt/storage/www/index.html

You get the idea.
Please add [Solved] to your thread title if the solution was found.
