kiosk + Chromium from EPEL, baked into the root. **cage is NOT packaged for EL9**
(`dnf install cage` → "Unable to find a match"), so switched to **weston
kiosk-shell** (weston 8.0.0-10.el9 is in EPEL; kiosk-shell.so landed in weston
8.0; far lighter than the GDM+gnome-kiosk alternative).
- `kiosk_url` Packer var (default `https://www.reddit.com`; empty disables the
whole install). Wired in CI as `KIOSK_URL` env.
- Provisioner enables EPEL, installs `cage chromium mesa-dri-drivers mesa-libEGL
mesa-libgbm dejavu-sans-fonts`, creates a passwordless unprivileged `kiosk`
user (video/input groups).
- `files/kiosk/kiosk.service` — runs `cage -s -- /usr/local/bin/kiosk-session`
as `kiosk` on tty1 via `PAMName=login`+`TTYPath` (gets seat0 for DRM/input),
`Conflicts=getty@tty1`, `WantedBy=graphical.target`; default target set to
graphical.

`require-input=false`, `xwayland=false`, `[autolaunch] path=/usr/local/bin/
kiosk-session watch=true`.
- `files/kiosk/kiosk-session` — Chromium with `--kiosk --ozone-platform=wayland
--disable-gpu` + tmpfs profile/cache; URL from `/etc/kiosk/kiosk.env`.
- `WLR_RENDERER=pixman` in kiosk.env for VMs without a GPU.
- **Verify on a VM with a console (Proxmox VNC/SPICE):** cage comes up on tty1,
Chromium loads the URL over the booted network. Likely tweak points:
`cage` availability in EPEL 9 (else fall back to `weston --shell=kiosk-shell`),
Chromium ozone/wayland support, dropping `--disable-gpu` on real GPUs, and
**SELinux AVCs** for the GUI stack (check `ausearch -m avc`; now that the image
is enforcing with labels, the kiosk may need a small policy module or booleans
— do NOT just set permissive). Admin SSH (the key user) still works for debug
even if the kiosk fails (it lands at graphical.target either way).
- **Verify on a VM with a console (Proxmox VNC/SPICE):** weston comes up on
tty1, Chromium loads the URL over the booted network. Likely tweak points:
Chromium ozone/wayland support, dropping `--disable-gpu` on real GPUs,
`/dev/dri` present in the VM (weston needs a DRM device — set Display to
VirtIO-GPU/std), and **SELinux AVCs** for the GUI stack (check `ausearch -m
avc`; the kiosk user is unconfined so likely none — but do NOT set permissive
if they appear; add a policy module). Admin SSH (the key user) still works for
debug even if the kiosk fails (it lands at graphical.target either way).
- **Image size:** Chromium+Mesa add hundreds of MB to the *uncompressed* erofs —
feeds the "shrink the rootfs" concern (and #7); reconsider whether a lighter
browser/render path is viable.
