Do You have spare RPi and big monitor / TV ? If yes then let's try to build dashboard.

There are several ways how to get "data" on screen. Most common is to use browser to do all rendering and remote connections. This article describe configuration using browser.

Browser needs X11 subsystem to be running and there are several ways how to start X11 + Browser. I selected two common options.

First of all we need OS.

Base OS

I recommend Rasbian installed using unattended installer. Keyboard is not necessary to perform installation and re-instillation. This article describe re-installation but with small modification you can use it also as initial installation. Raspbian UA installer can be obtained from release page or homepage.

Step 1

Cleanup /boot and replace it with installer. 

cd /root
wget https://github.com/debian-pi/raspbian-ua-netinst/releases/download/v1.0.8.1/raspbian-ua-netinst-v1.0.8.1.zip

cd /boot
rm -rf *

unzip /root/raspbian-ua-netinst-v1.0.8.1.zip

cd /
umount /boot
reboot -f

Step 2
