Config adaptation // Most prudent way

Post#1 by Chillkroete » 10 Jul 2023, 20:52

Hi everybody,
I am playing around with some config options currently.
What I currently do is each time I want to modify the config, I perform a reinstall of Porteus Kiosk 5.5. There is probably a more prudent and efficient aproach for.

I think "Remote kiosk management" is meant for that. I tried to bring that up on my Synology NAS, but did unfortunately not succeed to host the config file in a manner Porteus could read it.
http-sharing does not work, as Synology redirects the provided link via a small website, which provides the file. Doing so Porteus reads the sourcecode of the website instead of the content of the linked file.
FTP-Sharing is IMHO a scurity risk to activate, isnt it?

Porteus Kiosk Server seems to be a bit overkill to only manage one single device. Do you agree?

Thanks for your advices for the best approach!
Kindest regards,

If you do not have any sensitive data (like passwords) included in your config then you can use even dropbox.com.

Thanks
