I got tired of subscription-based wall displays and locked ecosystems, so I built my own.<p>This turns a Raspberry Pi into a wall-mounted dashboard that boots directly into a fullscreen display and runs entirely on the local network. No accounts, no cloud, no ongoing fees.<p>From a fresh Pi install, it takes about 8 minutes from running the command to a working display after reboot.<p>Install:<p>curl -fsSL <a href="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/silentg33k/chalkboard-installer/main/install.sh" rel="nofollow">https://raw.githubusercontent.com/silentg33k/chalkboard-inst...</a> | bash<p>What it does:<p>- boots straight into a kiosk display - controlled via a browser on the local network - stores everything locally - runs on nginx + PHP + Chromium kiosk - background updates handled via cron + local scripts<p>After install it’s immediately usable, and then you can layer in things like schedules, weather, or other content if you want.<p>I built it specifically to avoid paying for something like a “smart display” that requires a subscription and limits what you can do with it.<p>Wondering if anyone thinks this solves a problem or is a viable project.

lotza binaries with no actual source code, looks more like a supply-chain attack
