What you’ll learn

In this tutorial, we will create a snap of a Wayland-native application to act as the graphical user interface (GUI) for an IoT or kiosk device. We will walk through the process and solve some common problems along the way. For the introduction to this tutorial series and the Mir display server please visit here.

The combination of Snap, the “mir-kiosk” Wayland server, and Ubuntu Core ensures the reliability and security for any graphical embedded device application.

What you’ll need

An Ubuntu desktop running any current release of Ubuntu, or an Ubuntu Virtual Machine on another OS.
A ‘Target Device’ from one of the following:
- A device running Ubuntu Core 18.
  This guide shows you how to set up a supported device. If there’s no supported image that fits your needs you can create your own core image.
- A VM. You don’t have to have a physical “Target Device”, you can follow this tutorial using Ubuntu Core in a VM instead.
  - Install the ubuntu-core-vm snap:
    sudo snap install --beta ubuntu-core-vm --devmode
    For the first run, create a VM running the latest Core 18 image:
    sudo ubuntu-core-vm init.
    From then on, you can spin it up with:
    sudo ubuntu-core-vm Opinion already dell 1355cn printer driver.
    Which should show you a new window with Ubuntu Core running inside. Setting up Ubuntu Core on this VM is the same as for any other device or VM. See, for example, https://developer.ubuntu.com/core/get-started/kvm.
- Using Ubuntu Classic You don’t have to use Ubuntu Core, you can use also a “Target Device” with Ubuntu Classic. Read this guide to understand how to run kiosk snaps on your desktop, as the particular details won’t be repeated here.
