A complete digital signage platform that runs on hardware you already own.
Display images, videos, and web pages. Upload files or point to any URL.
Set start and end dates for each asset. Control duration and playlist order.
Automate content updates and manage devices programmatically.
The recommended way is to flash an SD card with Raspberry Pi Imager, no command line needed. Advanced users can install over an existing Raspberry Pi OS / Debian system.
Open Raspberry Pi Imager, pick Other specific-purpose OS → Digital signage and kiosks → Anthias, choose your Pi model, and flash. The SD card boots straight into Anthias, no SSH, no installer prompts.
Raspberry Pi 2 through Pi 5. These are balenaHub Fleets for Good images, so the device updates over the air automatically.
On a running Raspberry Pi OS Lite or Debian system, run:

Free and self-hosted, developed in the open since 2012, running on hardware you already own.
Anthias is a free, self-hosted digital signage platform for Raspberry Pi and x86 PCs. Formerly known as Screenly OSE, it has been developed in the open since 2012 and is one of the most widely deployed open source signage projects in the world.
Once a screen is running, you manage it from a simple web interface: upload an image or video, point to a web page or a free signage app such as weather, a world clock, or a news feed, then set how long each asset shows and give it a start and end date. Anthias loops through the active playlist automatically, so a Pi tucked behind a display can run unattended for months.
