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. + +## KEYWORDS + +*address* + The address to which the server shall bind, e.g. 0.0.0.0 or localhost. + +*certificate_file* + The path to the certificate file for encryption. Only applicable when + *enable_auth*=true. + +*enable_auth* + Enable authentication and encryption. Setting this value to *true* + requires also setting *certificate_file*, *private_key_file*, + *username* and *password*. + +*password* + Choose a password for authentication. + +*port* + The port to which the server shall bind. Default is 5900. + +*private_key_file* + The path to the private key file for encryption. Only applicable when + *enable_auth*=true. + +*username* + Choose a username for authentication. + +## EXAMPLE + +``` +address=0.0.0.0 +enable_auth=true +username=luser +password=p455w0rd +private_key_file=/path/to/key.pem +certificate_file=/path/to/cert.pem +``` + +# 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_ + Specifies the location of configuration files. + +# 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. + +# AUTHORS + +Maintained by Andri Yngvason .
