sudo -u <user> cargo fails when cargo lives in ~/.cargo/bin and root's
PATH doesn't carry it. Switch to sudo -u <user> -i sh -c so the user's
.profile / cargo env is sourced.
Script now installs GTK/GStreamer/webkit dev libs, runs cargo build
--release as the invoking user, then drops the binary at
/opt/betterframe/kiosk/betterframe-kiosk where the systemd unit
expects it. Set SKIP_BUILD=1 to bypass when iterating.
Replace the user-mode kiosk service with a system unit that runs cage
(single-app Wayland compositor) on tty1 as a dedicated unprivileged
user. No desktop, no display manager, auto-restart on crash via
Restart=always.
setup-pi-kiosk.sh provisions the user, installs cage + seatd, disables
any display manager, points default.target at multi-user, drops the
PAM stack, and enables the service. Idempotent.
Screen wake "auto-login": with no DM and no lockscreen, DPMS-driven
sleep just turns the panel back on — the kiosk process is already
running.
Server mints a dedicated admin API key on first boot (persisted plaintext
encrypted in setup_state.extras) and POSTs a bf-server-config node into
Node-RED's flow graph via /nrdp/flows. Idempotent — skips if any
bf-server-config already exists, so user-owned configs win.
New admin-http config 'selfUrl' (defaults to http://127.0.0.1:18080)
tells Node-RED how to reach the BF server. Docker compose sets it to
http://server:18080 so requests stay inside the compose network.
Node-RED only scans userDir/node_modules by default. Setting
nodesDir explicitly tells it to also scan our baked-in path,
which survives the /data volume mount.
- New deploy/docker/Dockerfile.nodered extends nodered/node-red,
npm-installs the workspace nodered/ package into
/usr/src/node-red/node_modules so bf-* nodes auto-load on boot.
- docker-compose nodered service switched from public image to
this build context. Rebuilding (--build) picks up node changes.
- Dockerfile.server: RUN npm run build during builder stage so the
image ships pre-compiled lib/ + bsb-plugin.json. Runtime image also
installs ffmpeg (for camera snapshot endpoint).
- DisplayEditPage Show buttons + Switch dropdown now use hx-post
with hx-swap=none — no page reload, just fires the command.
Bind native backend services and Node-RED to loopback so Angie remains the public auth boundary. Keep Docker on an internal compose network and stop kiosk fallback to a layout when display default is none.
