Overview

piSignage Server is the open source, self hosted server for managing digital signage: you upload media, build playlists, organise displays into groups and labels, and manage the signage players that connect back to the server, all from a web browser. Physical players connect to the server over the network; the server itself runs stand alone, so you can set up and preview your content with no signage hardware attached. In this image it is connected to a local FerretDB, an open source MongoDB compatible database that stores its data in PostgreSQL.

It suits offices, retail, hospitality and education running screens they want to control themselves, teams that want a private alternative to hosted signage services on infrastructure they own, and anyone evaluating digital signage who wants a working server in minutes.

Why the cloudimg image

cloudimg ships piSignage Server as one complete appliance rather than a server, a database and a media toolchain to wire together, and closes the security gap a fresh install carries: piSignage stores its login in its database with a well known default and bakes a fixed session secret. Every cloudimg instance instead mints its own administrator password, its own database password and its own session secret on first boot, before the console is reachable, and the well known default login is overridden and proven dead, so no two machines share a secret and there is no default to guess, with the details written to a root only file on the machine. The MongoDB compatible database is kept on the loopback interface and never exposed by default, and a demo playlist and demo media are seeded so the console shows real content the moment you sign in, with no hardware attached. The base is fully patched with unattended security updates enabled, and every image comes with a step by step deploy guide tested against the exact build and 24/7 cloudimg support.
