nodm

Installs the nodm display manager that automatically logs user in without interaction, usable for example in kiosk mode.

Note that the package is no longer maintained and as such may not be available in some of the latest distributions.

Note that this package does not set the used display manager. On some systems you can change it by changing the running service, on Debian -based systems you will need to run dpkg-reconfigure nodm --priority high and answer the questions.

Requirements

EPEL repository is needed on Red Hat and CentOS and based distributions. You can use for example Ansible Role: EPEL Repository
