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
