How to get an IGEL Custom Partition like Google Chrome to open up to a specific site on launch?


Any ideas on how to get a custom partition like Google Chrome to open up to a specific site on first opening?

Would expect:

/path/to/binary/google-chrome yoursite.com yoursite.com

or do I get your question wrong?


I think Nicolas meant to open a specific URL on first launch only. Given a CP is read only, this probably can’t be done easily.


@member you can work with Chrome policies to do that.


That is what I do with the CP for Training videos…

github.com/IGEL-Community/IGEL-Custom-Partitions/tree/master/CP_Source/Apps/Training_Videos

google-chrome-stable –no-default-browser-check –kiosk ~/trainingvideos


Thank you!

I was trying policies but having some issue, but will give this a try!


@member I can help you with the policies, if you want, I’ve installed Chrome as a CP too and with Chrome policies. 🙂


@member that would be great! Would you have time next week?


Yes, of course, text me over PM. 🙂


Thank you! I’ll reach out then!


Thank you Leon for taking the lead on this and being a real servant heart, that‘s community as its best, Nicolas: you are in great hands!

Would you mind keeping us in the loop if something can be shared or, if you need further help from us?


Yes will do! Thanks All!
