pcgewisa

A service PC with two screens, each showing one Aurora page fullscreen. Nothing else runs on it; the Aurora lights and audio services live on pcgewisb.

Monitor What is on it
1 (left) Firefox on the URL in the leftScreenURL secret
2 (right) Firefox on the URL in the rightScreenURL secret

/home/gewis is carried on /persist, so the browser profiles survive the root filesystem being wiped on every boot.

It is never powered off at night. Instead, every night the screens are put back side by side if they have ended up mirrored; see Putting the screens back.

Graphics

The PC has a GeForce GTX 1650 (TU117) and runs NVIDIA's driver with the open kernel modules. See NVIDIA driver.

leftScreenURL: https://<aurora core>/...
rightScreenURL: https://<aurora core>/...
