Hello World

Rendering of the hello_world example

The smallest useful config: a single screen showing “Hello, World!” centered on the panel. It uses no data sources and no custom fonts (text falls back to the bundled FiraSans).

Files

hello_world.yml — the config. Sets the panel size and schedules the hello screen.
hello_world.xml.jinja — the screen template.

Try it

From the web/ directory, point CONFIG_DIR at this folder and render the config to a PNG:

CONFIG_DIR=examples/hello_world uv run todays_paper hello_world -o hello_world.png

To serve it to a device, name the config file after the device’s UUID (e.g. <uuid>.yml) and run the server with CONFIG_DIR pointing at this folder.

`hello_world.xml.jinja`

<screen>
    <text align="center" valign="middle" size="120">Hello, World!</text>
</screen>
