Deployment, kiosk mode and updates

Deployment

Deploying la Vitre begins with downloading and running the installer. Access the following link https://lavitre.me/app.

Command line execution

You can launch la Vitre installer from the command line, including in silent mode.

Supported parameters:

/S: silent installation


/licensekey: la Vitre activation key (optional).

Example: lavitre.exe /allusers /S /licensekey=000-000-000

Kiosk Mode

In certain situations, you need to maintain control over a device dedicated to connecting people. Windows kiosk mode locks down the device usage. It protects data and controls access.

To offer a "tailor-made" experience, you can enable and configure this mode. We provide a reference PowerShell script that handles:

  • Creating a dedicated user account
  • Configuring the firewall
  • Installing la Vitre for this account
  • Automatic login to Windows

Recommended starting point:

Since version 1.22.0-mainX64.6158, a simplified kiosk mode option is available in the advanced settings; you will find its complete description on the dedicated page Simplified kiosk mode.

Updates

By default, Vitres follow the "Main" update channel. When a version goes into production, la Vitre detects it, downloads the update in the background, then installs it overnight. You keep your presence. Without interruption.

1. Update channel

  • Main: la Vitre production
  • Custom: custom internal channel

2. Custom channel

3. Silent update

You can automate silent updates. Use the PowerShell script lavitre-update.ps1 in a Windows scheduled task.

By default, the script reads your Vitre's local settings: Channel, Username, Password.

You can also specify another source: Url, Channel, Username, Password.

For example, select the "Custom" track in la Vitre without further specification to disable the default search.

PowerShell Script

Script: the script available on this page, should be saved with the name below.

lavitre-update.ps1

Execution parameters:

  • -force: forces the download
  • -reboot: restarts the machine after installation
  • -feed: URL of the update folder
  • -channel: channel name
  • -username: identifier for Basic authentication
  • -password: password for Basic authentication

Example

  • Standard update

powershell -file lavitre-update.ps1-force-reboot
  • Custom update
powershell -file lavitre-update.ps1-feed https://storage.lavit.re/releases/ -channel mainX64

Deploying an update server

The update server must be an HTTP server allowing the download of:

  • .exe files of installation executables
  • .yml files defining update channels
  • An example for the "mainX64" channel

To make new versions available on your Update Server, you must:
