display-worker

The display-worker is an electron based display daemon that can be used to show remotely managed web-based contents. The display-worker exposes an API on RabbitMQ that can be used to open URLs within "windows" and manage them. To make working with the display-worker easier, it is recommended to use the @cisl/io-display plugin for @cisl/io.
