cross512/flask-kiosk repository overview

⁠flask-kiosk

A simple Python/Flask/Javascript web host image kiosk.

There aren't a lot of simple self-hosted options for digital frames, so I came up with this. Minimal functionality, singular in purpose. This allows you to upload images to a folder and then view them on a rotation similar to digital frames.

⁠Deploy

docker run -d -p 4444:4444 --name flask-kiosk -v [path to your images folder]:/app/images cross512/flask-kiosk:latest

⁠Usage

• To view the rotating images, navigate to http://[your server's IP]:4444/ or http://[your server's IP]:4444/gallery/.

• To upload images, change the rotation timing, and manage the current images, navigate to http://[your server's IP]:4444/upload/.

My use was leveraging an old Surface tablet, so I used these instructions to run Edge in kiosk mode to accomplish the digital frame feel: Microsoft Edge Kiosk Mode⁠.

⁠Settings

There are two settings on the upload URL that can adjust the timings of the app:

• Image Change Interval (seconds): This sets the duration each image is displayed.
• Gallery Refresh Interval (seconds): This sets the interval at which the system refreshes the image list for displaying, so you do not have to refresh the browser to see the new images.
