If you have a raspberry pi running something, you’ll likely have experienced SD card corruption after a while.
A kiosk does not need to write to the filesystem most of the times. Here is my solution to configuring Raspberry Pi OS with the following features:

  • Read-only filesystem
  • Chromium browser autostart
  • No cursor
  • Turn on and off the screen via MQTT

Key benefits

  • SD card less likely to corrupt
  • Cheaper than a tablet
  • No need to worry about the battery of the tablet ageing
