Raspberry Pi Wayland Kiosk

Raspberry Pi's are great little devices that can be used for tons of things, including, setting up your own kiosk as a home lab dashboard. Using a Raspberry Pi Wayland Kiosk is easier to set up than you might think. We just need to install Raspberry Pi OS and then add some config for autologin, and tabbing between browsers to Grafana dashboards.

Raspberry Pi OS Install

Using the Raspberry Pi OS imager, we can get Raspberry Pi OS installed on our Raspberry Pi. Just download the imager and go through the wizard. After that, you will be able to setup the rest of the configuration

Setup WTYPE and Switchtab.sh

The WTYPE utility is what will allow us to switch between Chrome tabs and our Grafana dashboards.  Switchtab.sh is the file that will determine the URLs that will be switched between.
