# DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is a VNC server for wlroots based Wayland compositors. It attaches to a
|
||
|
|
running Wayland session, creates virtual input devices and exposes a single
|
||
|
|
display via the RFB protocol. The Wayland session may be a headless one, so it
|
||
|
|
is also possible to run wayvnc without a physical display attached.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# CONFIGURATION
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
wayvnc searches for a config file in the location
|
||
|
|
~/$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/wayvnc/config
|
||
|
|
or if $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not set
|
||
|
|
~/.config/wayvnc/config
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## SYNTAX
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The configuration file is composed of key-value pairs separated with an *equal*
|
||
|
|
sign. Whitespace around either the key or the value is insignificant and is not
|
||
|
|
considered to be part of the key or the value.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

# ENVIRONMENT
|
||
|
|
|
||

The following environment variables have an effect on wayvnc:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
_WAYLAND_DISPLAY_
|
||
|
|
Specifies the name of the Wayland display that the compositor to which
|
||
|
|
wayvnc shall bind is running on.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
_XDG_CONFIG_HOME_
|

|
||

# FAQ
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*How can I run wayvnc in headless mode/over an SSH session?*
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Set the environment variables _WLR_BACKENDS_=headless and
|
||
|
|
_WLR_LIBINPUT_NO_DEVICES_=1 before starting the compositor, then run
|
||
|
|
wayvnc as normal.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*How can I pass my mod-key from Sway to the remote desktop session?*
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Create an almost empty mode in your sway config. Example:
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
mode passthrough {
|
||
|
|
bindsym $mod+Pause mode default
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
bindsym $mod+Pause mode passthrough
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
This makes it so that when you press $mod+Pause, all keybindings, except
|
||
|
|
the one to switch back, are disabled.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*Not all symbols show up when I'm typing. What can I do to fix this?*
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Try setting the keyboard layout in wayvnc to the one that most closely
|
||
|
|
matches the keyboard layout that you're using on the client side. An
|
||
|
|
exact layout isn't needed, just one that has all the symbols that you
|
||
|
|
use.
