Pulse Signage

Pulse Signage is a self-hosted digital signage platform for teams that want clear, reliable control over the content on every screen.

It gives you one place to publish playlists, slides, announcements, and live updates without handing the workflow to a third-party service.

What It Can Do

• Run polished screen experiences with playlists, slides, and reusable templates.
• Keep announcements, schedules, RSS feeds, API content, and other live data in sync.
• Manage many screens from a single dashboard.
• Support everyday signage, event messages, lobbies, dashboards, and other always-on displays.
• Keep the player, dashboard, and bridge connected so updates move quickly and consistently.

Why It Fits

• It keeps signage under your own control.
• It is built for teams that need screens to stay current without extra manual work.
• It works well for offices, venues, campuses, and operations teams.
• It stays focused on display management instead of trying to be a general-purpose CMS.

Deploying

Docker Compose is the recommended way to deploy Pulse Signage. It keeps the web app, player, bridge, and database together in a predictable setup.
