Introduction
This is a VNC server for wlroots based Wayland compositors.
Building
Runtime Dependencies
- EGL
- libuv
- libxkbcommon
- neatvnc
- OpenGL ES V2.0
- pixman
Build Dependencies
- GCC
- meson
- ninja
- pkg-config
The easiest way to satisfy the neatvnc dependency is to clone it into the subprojects directory:
mkdir subprojects
git clone https://github.com/any1/neatvnc.git subprojects/neatvnc
Setting the buildtype flag is not required but it is recommended as there are significant performance gains to be had from an optimised build.
meson build --buildtype=release
ninja -C build
Running
Wayvnc can be run from the build directory like so:
./build/wayvnc
☢️ 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
⚠️ Do not do this on a public network or the internet. Wayvnc does not support any kind of encryption or password protection. A good way to protect your VNC connection is to use SSH tunneling while listening on localhost.
