Build a kiosk with touch input and remote desktop on ubuntu 18.04

Hi geeks, this is my 1st time to create a tutorial video on how to build something interesting, like a kiosk, with touch screen and VNC. I'm not a native English speaker and I have left a MNC for almost 4 years, so this means I'm trying to push myself to do this with my second language instead of the native - which is a big fun.
This tutorial is accomplished by myself, but the steps, those tricks were gathered from several blog posts and articles - special thanks to them, listed below.

Written in Chinese but I suppose those files are easily located and copied to your clipboard.

Chromium has many undocumented flags that develops add and remove at a whim. One of these flags is "--kiosk". The --kiosk flag launches Chromium in a kiosk mode that only shows the web page with none of the menus or noise. Technically this flag could be removed at any time, but it's been around for about 4 years. I don't know if it also shuts off Chromium's auto-updater or not. I found the --kiosk flag super handy for my needs and I hope you do to

Great tutorial!
I have seen that native lightdm configuration also has vnc server, as mentioned in the archlinux lightdm page. I am looking for a solution to load a GTK app instead of chromium though (I understand the steps). Also, is there something to detect the monitors without the use of xrandr (prior to xorg setup)?

When you are running it on a touch screen and slide your finger top to bottom when chromium is in kiosk mode it causes it to exit. I tested on ubuntu 20

Hi, did you know if it is possible for Chromium kiosk to return home page if idle for 60 seconds ?

[ItsDevOps]

I don’t need the auto login function? Is that possible?

[kwynintelligence]

Yeahh, thank you. Not sure if I should go for Raspbian or Ubuntu (for raspberry) for a Kiosk with touch

[TonyRodriguez-Trod]

Do you know how to do this on a Android or Google Media player box?

[kesogonzaga]

hi, thanks for the video, how can i prevent, to close the app via touch screen? eg. swiping 4 fingers up or one finger from the bottom left to right. Thanks

alright but how do make a multi app kiosk ubutu?? i mean something similar to windows tablet mode but with only a few applications like firefox, pdf reader and maybe a simple text editor, and mind you i dont want the user to be able to touch the settings or etc.

a big problem we've experienced on digital signage using chromium or even chrome is the auto-update popups that we havent been able to disable. the aw-snap and session restore hacks are fine, just cant kill that auto-update
resorted to using qutebrowser, set to fullscreen, remove/disable tabs and statusbar.

Hi Mr Yungilike this can be done on windows as well right?

[TonyRodriguez-Trod]

Maybe not a Kiosk but a remote display like a digital menu

Do you know if this will work with Ubuntu 20.04?

Do you know if it's possible to keep the top bar from the desktop in the kiosk? I'd like to have that for displaying the time and connecting to wifi on my kiosk.
