Description-en: Kiosk browser session manager based on the surf browser
Provide an X11 session manager script that launches a minimal window
manager and then opens an entry web page via the surf web browser in
kiosk mode. The web page can be consumed "read-only" or in interactive
mode.
.
In combination with the nodm display manager you can provide an
easy-to-setup html'ish display screen or a web terminal.
.
If URL/domain filtering is needed, combine surf-display with a local
instance of tinyproxy.
.
After a configurable idle time, the browser session is fully
reset and started anew.
