have you considered using something like Dietpi OS? This is a lightweight "Ubuntu" which has an option to run chromium in kiosk mode (configurable from dietpi-config wizard)
Thanks, I'll take a look.
OK, well that was interesting - and pretty quick to test - but: - The installer is very limited - it simply writes a pre-buit image to your HDD. Which falls foul of a criteria I hadn't mentioned: I need a custom disk set up to install RAID, and that's not an option in dietpi - It's based on Debian (not Ubuntu) and as such PHP installs to v7.4 not v8.x
I did try configuring it to book to a browser in Kiosk mode using the config wizard but it didn't work for me - but by this point it was only a curiosity as it seems I'm not going to be able to go any further with it so I left it there.
Which brings me back to square 1...
