# wayvnc
|
|
|
|
## Introduction
|
|
This is a VNC server for wlroots-based Wayland compositors (:no_entry: Gnome
|
|
and KDE are **not** supported). 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.
|
|
|
|
Please check the [FAQ](FAQ.md) for answers to common questions. For further
|
|
support, join the #wayvnc IRC channel on libera.chat, or ask your questions on the
|
|
GitHub [discussion forum](https://github.com/any1/wayvnc/discussions) for the
|
|
project.
|
|
|
|
## Installing
|
|
```
|
|
# Arch Linux
|
|
pacman -S wayvnc
|
|
|
|
# FreeBSD
|
|
pkg install wayvnc
|
|
|
|
# Fedora
|
|
dnf install wayvnc
|
|
|
|

|
## Building
|
|
### Runtime Dependencies
|
|
* aml
|
|
* drm
|
|
* gbm (optional)
|
|
* libxkbcommon
|
|
* neatvnc
|
|
* pam (optional)
|
|
* pixman
|
|
|
|
### Build Dependencies
|
|
* GCC
|
|
* meson
|
|
* ninja
|
|
* pkg-config
|
|
|
|
#### For Arch Linux
|
|
```
|
|
pacman -S base-devel libglvnd libxkbcommon pixman gnutls
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### For Fedora 31
|
|
```
|
|
dnf install -y meson gcc ninja-build pkg-config egl-wayland egl-wayland-devel \
|
|
mesa-libEGL-devel mesa-libEGL libwayland-egl libglvnd-devel \
|
|
libglvnd-core-devel libglvnd mesa-libGLES-devel mesa-libGLES \
|
|
libxkbcommon-devel libxkbcommon libwayland-client libwayland \
|
|
wayland-devel gnutls-devel
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The easiest way to satisfy the neatvnc and aml dependencies is to link to them
|
|
in the subprojects directory:
|
|
```
|
|
git clone https://github.com/any1/wayvnc.git
|
|
git clone https://github.com/any1/neatvnc.git
|
|
git clone https://github.com/any1/aml.git
|
|
|
|
mkdir wayvnc/subprojects
|
|
cd wayvnc/subprojects
|
|
ln -s ../../neatvnc .
|
|
ln -s ../../aml .
|
|
cd -
|
|
|
|
mkdir neatvnc/subprojects
|
|
cd neatvnc/subprojects
|
|
ln -s ../../aml .
|
|
cd -
|
|
|
|
meson build
|
|
ninja -C build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Running
|
|
Wayvnc can be run from the build directory like so:
|
|
```
|
|
./build/wayvnc
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
:radioactive: The server only accepts connections from localhost by default. To
|
|
accept connections via any interface, set the address to `0.0.0.0` like this:
|
|
```
|
|
./build/wayvnc 0.0.0.0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
:warning: Do not do this on a public network or the internet without
|
|
user authentication enabled. The best way to protect your VNC connection is to
|
|
use SSH tunneling while listening on localhost, but users can also be
|
|
authenticated when connecting to wayvnc.
|
|
|
|
### Encryption & Authentication
|
|
You'll need a private X509 key and a certificate. A self-signed key with a
|
|
certificate can be generated like so:
|
|
```
|
|
openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -sha256 -days 3650 -nodes \
|
|
-keyout key.pem -out cert.pem -subj /CN=localhost \
|
|
-addext subjectAltName=DNS:localhost,DNS:localhost,IP:127.0.0.1
|
|
```
|
|
Replace `localhost` and `127.0.0.1` in the command above with your public facing
|
|
host name and IP address, respectively, or just keep them as is if you're
|
|
testing locally.
|
|
|
|
Create a config with the authentication info and load it using the `--config`
|
|
command line option or place it at the default location
|
|
`$HOME/.config/wayvnc/config`.
|
|
```
|
|
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
|
|
```
|
