Can´t get my Raspberry Pi to autostart Chromium

Post by /RaspberryPi »


Hi,

I have been trying to get my Raspberry Pi to autostart fullscreen to a webpage for a couple of days now but I don´t seem to get it correct, nothing happens.

From SSH console:

niklas@solar:~ $ sudo systemctl status kiosk.service

○ kiosk.service - Chromium Kiosk

Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/kiosk.service; enabled; preset: enabled)

Active: inactive (dead) since Sun 2023-11-26 13:44:17 CET; 3s ago

Duration: 830ms

Process: 2176 ExecStart=/bin/bash /home/niklas/chrome.sh (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)

Main PID: 2176 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)

CPU: 25ms



Nov 26 13:44:17 solar systemd[1]: Started kiosk.service - Chromium Kiosk.

Nov 26 13:44:17 solar systemd[1]: kiosk.service: Deactivated successfully.

It looks like it just stops the service, how to fix?



in the kiosk.service:
