In this guide I'll show you how to open a web browser as an Atvise client on system startup with Fullscreen and no closeable
WINDOWS
- The first step is to create a shortcut icon in your desktop for the web browser that we would like to open in startup.
- Right click in the shortcut you just created and click on properties
- In the "Shortcut" tab, in the "Target" field, add the address and port of the direction of the Atvise server you want to open automatically, right after the quotation marks at the end of the path
- "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe" --kiosk 192.168.3.1XX:80
For example, if you want to open Edge in full screen at the "http://www.example.com" address and port 8080, your "Destination" field would look like this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe" --kiosk http://www.example.com:8080
In my case, the direction was http://192.168.3.1XX:80 for no auth login, and 443 for auth login.
- Click apply and then OK to save your changes
- Copy this shortcut to this path:
- %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
And you will have you system opening atvise web Client on SO Startup with Fullscreen and no close option.
LINUX
- The first step is to open the firefox browser and enter the atvise server direction http://192.168.3.1XX:80
- Press F11 to turn on full-screen mode and make sure the browser window takes up the entire screen.
- Close Firefox.
- Open Terminal and type the following command to open the login configuration file:
- mkdir -p ~/.config/autostart
- nano ~/.config/autostart/firefox.desktop
Then we type this code inside nano:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Firefox
GenericName=Web Browser
Comment=Browse the World Wide Web
Exec=firefox-esr -kiosk http://tu-sitio-web:puerto
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Icon=firefox-esr
Categories=Network;WebBrowser;
Save the file by pressing Ctrl + O, and then close the nano editor by pressing Ctrl + X.
Restart your computer and Firefox will automatically open in full-screen mode at startup. The browser window cannot be closed and Firefox can only be closed by pressing Ctrl + Q or logging out or shutting down the system.
