Hi,

I saw that there are some posts about running X11 in the Docker container and connecting to it over VNC.
I wonder, is it possible to run an application with GUI, perhaps in kiosk mode, in balena OS? So if the device has a built-in display, the GUI would appear on the display immediately after the system starts. If it does not have a display, then GUI would be displayed on the connected monitor.
Also will need access to the keyboard or touchscreen.

Hello @Ravil did you try the browser block?

If it doesn’t work, you can get inspired with this block as it’s running the Chromium browser via X11. Maybe you can run your GUI with X11 following the broswer block as an example!

Let us know if that works!
