If you want something that is more of a static kiosk setup, there is a different Balena supported project that supports more of this style use case. Without the need of casting or connecting with Airplay

I'll never touch Balena anything since they put phone-home in Etcher (a simple tool for writing a local file to a local flash blockdev, essentially just a GUI front end to dd). I can't spend the time to audit their software for spying, and they already burned up whatever default level of trustworthiness they had.

They've been baleeted.


Wow. Glad I didn’t take a job with them. That’s despicable.

I’ll also be warning my embedded customers that consider their offering.

Telemetry is NOT okay.


The funniest bit was the ad for pi-hole (adblocking software) displayed in the flashing tool.
