Run the kiosk on Chromium, and take the stray media server off musicdolphin
Chromium: same page, same machine, idle, Firefox 24.2% of a core against Chromium's 11.4%. The build comes from archive.raspberrypi.com (a "+rpt" version) and is patched for this board's V3D GPU; Debian ships a much older chromium, so the archive matters. The whole userland here is 32-bit armhf on a 64-bit kernel, which Firefox handles worse than Chromium does. --use-gl=egl, --enable-gpu-rasterization, --ignore-gpu-blocklist and --enable-zero-copy are what keep rasterization on the GPU: Chromium's blocklist does not recognise this driver and silently falls back to software without them. pi_kiosk_browser: firefox still works, as the fallback if an update ever regresses. Debug mode also gains xdotool, scrot and --remote-debugging-port=9222 (on 127.0.0.1), because firing XTEST key events at a window lands about half the time and a benchmark you cannot verify the state of is worse than none. pi_squeezeserver gains an absent path, and mediapis.yml derives its state from mediapi_has_squeezeserver, which defaults to false for the whole group. false means "actively remove", not "skip": musicdolphin has been running a Logitech Media Server that no playbook installs and nothing talks to - every squeezelite in the fleet points at pi_squeezelite_squeezeserver (192.168.178.80, the server) - while costing ~30 MB resident and ~47 MB of swap on a 2 GB Pi that also drives the kiosk. The absent path stops it, purges the package, unregisters it from sysdweb, drops the port 80 -> 9000 redirect and deletes its database and logs. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# The mirror image of present.yml. Worth having as a real code path rather than a
|
||||
# one-off ssh session: musicdolphin had LMS running because some earlier provisioning
|

# put it there, no playbook has installed it since, and nothing on the network used
|
||||
# it - every squeezelite in the fleet points at `pi_squeezelite_squeezeserver`
|
||||
# (192.168.178.80, the server), not at the pi it happens to be running on. On a 2 GB Pi
|
||||
# that is also driving a kiosk browser, a stray Perl daemon holding ~30 MB resident and
|
||||
# ~47 MB of swap is worth reclaiming.
