Setup guide

Get up and running in minutes

Follow the steps below for each app. You only need the Server App on one machine. Install the Kiosk App on every display device.

Server App

Install once on your server machine (PC, NUC, Pi)

1

Download and install

Run the installer for your platform. On Linux, make the AppImage executable: chmod +x DisplayGrid-Server.AppImage then double-click it.
2

Wait for the tray icon

A DisplayGrid icon appears in your system tray. A notification pops when the server is ready (usually within 10 seconds).
3

Open the dashboard

Click the tray icon and select "Open Dashboard". Your browser opens at http://localhost:3000. Complete the first-run setup wizard to create your admin account.
4

Add your first screen

Go to Screens, click "+ New Screen", give it a name (and optionally a custom token like lobby). Note the screen token shown in the token modal.

Kiosk App

Install on each display device (PC, Pi, TV stick)

1

Download and install on each display device

Use the ARM64 AppImage for Raspberry Pi 4B/5. On Linux, run chmod +x DisplayGrid-Kiosk.AppImage before launching.
2
Edit the config file

On first launch, a config file is created at ~/AppData/Roaming/DisplayGrid Kiosk/kiosk-config.json (Windows) or ~/.config/DisplayGrid Kiosk/kiosk-config.json (Linux/Pi). Edit it with your server's IP and screen token:
```
{
  "apiBase": "http://192.168.1.10:3000",
  "wsBase":  "ws://192.168.1.10:3001",
  "screenToken": "lobby"
}
```
3

Launch the app

The kiosk opens fullscreen and connects to your server automatically. If the token matches a screen in the dashboard, it starts playing the assigned playlist immediately.
4

Auto-start on boot (optional)

Windows: Add a shortcut to shell:startup. Linux/Pi: Add to your desktop session autostart or use a systemd --user service. Emergency quit: hold Ctrl+Alt+Q.
