Kiosk mode possible? (Single app started when device boots)

I would like to keep my Jolla1 phone in action and the envisioned scenario
is - as music player attached to the HIFI home station.

Is it possible to configure the phone to boot directly into the selected
application (MediaPlayer/Unplayer)? A so called kiosk-mode …
Obviously, the access to the phone is controlled via ssh.

Hmm.

The tutorial app is forcefully displayed on first boot.
Maaybe that can be hacked to instead launch another app.

The highlighted box should still be valid afaics.

Please come back if you need more help with this.

Well, its less about starting an applications, this can be done with different approaches, its more about the kiosk mode. No swipe from the top, left, right, effectively the app can not be closed. And conceptual, if started in a while loop, restarted if it crashes.

You could use edge swipe patch to prevent side swipes etc…

It’s possible to influence such parameters with dconf, see here for an example:

I guess that’s what @pawel.spoon was refering to.
