Visio-Display: Building a Self-Hosted Digital Signage Platform

Description and use

Visio‑Display is a fully self‑hosted digital signage platform that lets you manage content, clients, and operations from a single web interface, deployable with one command on a Linux server.

Problem

Managing digital signage content across multiple screens while retaining full control over hosting, data, and client software.

Outcome

A fully self‑hosted digital signage stack that unifies content management, client deployment, monitoring, and maintenance, all deployable with a single command on a Linux server.

Workflow

• 1. Install Docker, Docker‑Compose, and Git on a Linux server.
• 2. Run the one‑command installer: bash <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/woofix/visio_display/main/server-install.sh).
• 3. Create an administrator account via the installer.
• 4. Use the web UI to add screens, upload media, create playlists and schedules.
• 5. Deploy kiosk clients remotely over SSH; the client registers via heartbeat.
• 6. Monitor client status, perform remote restarts or updates from the UI.
• 7. Schedule backups and restore from the web interface as needed.

Evidence

Visio-Display is a free and open-source digital signage platform released under the GPL-3.0 license.

The installer is available in French and English. It checks the prerequisites, clones the repository, generates secrets, prepares the environment, creates the administrator account, builds the containers, and starts the stack.
