AppLauncher

The AppLauncher is a minimalist offline UI that attempts to load the configured target URL in the browser. In doing so, the AppLauncher checks the network and internet connectivity. If the check is successful, the target URL is loaded in the browser; in the event of an error, a fallback UI is displayed.

Furthermore, LAN/WLAN settings can be made in the AppLauncher, a factory reset can be performed and a reboot can be carried out.

The AppLauncher can be configured in this file.

Set custom target URL

To set a custom target URL in the Browser, replace the value with the key "target" with the new target URL. For example change the value to "http://www.ekt-digital.com" to display the site:

huon.config.json 

{
   ...
    "SolidAppLauncher": {
        "target": "http://www.ekt-digital.com",
        "interruptKeys": [256, 27],
        "timeout": 20000,
        "lite": false,
        "retries": 0
    },
    "theme": {
        "lightMode": false
    }
}
