Features
- Local PHP server for kiosk-mode environments
- Persistent session and configuration data (beyond cookies/localStorage)
- Built to run smoothly in Chromium or Firefox kiosk mode under Arch or similar

⚙️ Setup Instructions
-
Clone the repo:
git clone https://tea.surillya.com/Surillyacom/THOS-Server.git cd THOS-Server -
Install dependencies:
sudo pacman -S php -
Launch local server (as sudo):
sudo php -S 0.0.0.0:80 -
Access it in your browser: http://localhost
🔒 Security
The server runs per default as sudo, since it's intended to run server-side commands. This may lead to security issues, so don't just expose it to the web, or give anyone access! And watch out for what apps you install - we recommend only installing verified apps from the official THOS store!
🧠 Behind the Scenes
THOS is designed to run on a minimalistic Linux distro with kiosk capabilities. It ties together:
- Firefox in kiosk mode
- Local server logic for user interaction
- Persistent configuration for headless reboots
