@@synacktime do you think it will be ok to run it on a raspberry pi 3 ? Thanks

[@synacktime]

@@dragon3602010 While they do support linux, I don't think they support ARM processors. If you're looking for a cheap solution though, you could look at the Onn Google TV devices, they're cheaper than a Pi. I made a previous video about turning them into digital signage devices :)

[@jim7smith]

Well done. Have you done with with lxc or inucus containers?

[@synacktime]

I have not! But I will def look into it! Thank you :)

[@sezzars]

Thank you very much, But please can you help me to install server on local host and connect it to screen without internet at all

[@synacktime]

Suer thing @sezzars! If you're following along and you see at around 10:36 where I remove the lines referring to port 80? Well, don't do that! :) Also make sure you don't have Nginx Proxy manager installed. If you leave those ports where they are (80:80), then the server should start up on a the http port which you can access directly. Also when I'm talking about setting the name of the server earlier, make sure you just use the IP address of the server (that should do it). Let me know if this helps my dude!

@@synacktime thanks a lot🙏🏼 I will try it soon for my client if he accept it and back to you Thank you very much 🎁

Could you confirm if the android 30 bucks perpetual license is for a single local server or I can use for serveral ones?

[@XiboOrgUk]

Xibo for Android is licenced per Android device, so you'd need one licence for each Android device you install Xibo for Android on. The licence is for the installation of Xibo for Android not the CMS, so you can transfer it between multiple CMS instances if you wish. Perpetual licences are for a single major version. Currently you'd purchase version 4 licences, which you can use for as long as you wish. When version 5 is released, if you want to upgrade, an upgrade fee is charged per licence to upgrade it.

[@synacktime]

Thank you so much for the question and the information!

[@KimeeeNeee]

Hello greats video. Is it possible to install Xibo on a normal webhosting? What are the requirements for this hosting?

[@synacktime]

That's an excellent question! There is a more manual install if you can't install and run it off of Docker. Here is the link to running it, I think you'll have to be able to install a few packages with apt. xibosignage.com/docs/setup/xibo-on-a-web-server On a side note, if you're looking for a cheap VPS, I have been on Racknerd for years now. Check out these VPSes on the cheap (ignore the black friday messages, they run these all the time) www.racknerd.com/BlackFriday/

Can you also add a RSS ticker to Xibo? And how about security? This machine is exposed to the internet. Can I also run the server and display on a LAN without connection outside?

[@synacktime]

Yup! I believe it does have a RSS ticket. You can totally limit it to internal traffic only. You would open the ports straight to the container instead of running it through Nginx Proxy Manager. I opened mine to the net since I had multiple sites that needed to reach it. You could also limit traffic with Nginx Proxy Manager if you needed it to have it open but to only certain IPs.

@@synacktime thanks for your feedback. What I just have done is ask ChatGPT to write me a yml script for Portainer to create a Stack from the latest image. And this works like a charm.
