🔒 Kiosk / Training Mode

← Handbook home · 🇩🇪 Deutsche Version

For shared stations (club room, training, events):

• Enable in settings, set a password and choose what gets hidden while locked: tabs (Nodes, Channels, Settings, Info, Tools, Debug), node configuration, remote admin, telemetry dashboard, SOS button, Meshhessen quick-config
• 🔒 lock in the footer bar to lock/unlock (only shown when kiosk mode is enabled and a password is set); unlock via password, the app always starts locked in kiosk mode
• The Messages and Map tabs always stay visible — deliberately not lockable, so the station remains usable
• While locked, admin commands from Virtual Node clients are additionally blocked (regardless of the VNode setting)
• ⚠️ Protects against accidents, not attacks – the password is stored as a PBKDF2 hash, but anyone who can edit the INI file can disable the mode
• Forgot the password? Close the client and set KioskModeEnabled=True to False in meshhessen-client.ini (or clear the KioskPasswordHash=… line and set a new one)
