I'm working on setting up a kiosk system using Porteus in kiosk mode. While the lightweight nature of Porteus is ideal, I need a way to persistently store essential configurations and data specific to the kiosk application.
I've explored some potential solutions but would appreciate the community's insights and recommendations:
What are the preferred methods for storing persistent data in Porteus Kiosk Mode while maintaining its lightweight nature?
When implementing persistent storage, what security measures should be taken to protect sensitive kiosk data?

Persistent storage options for Porteus Kiosk Mode
Hello William,
You need to use:
1) 'persistence=full' kiosk parameter:
https://porteus-kiosk.org/parameters.html#persistence
2) USB stick with hardware encryption build into the firmware.
You can also use software encryption if you can enter the password manually during every kiosk boot.
(automatic password injection or using encryption keys is less secure as it can be tracked)
Thank you.
