buedchen

A work in progress wayland only compositor that implements a fullscreen shell for kiosk systems. Based on smithay. Mostly a fork of anvil. Supports wlr_layer_shell so a virtual keyboard might be attached for tablet use.

Dependencies

You'll need to install the following dependencies (note, that those package names may vary depending on your OS and linux distribution):

• libwayland
• libxkbcommon

These are needed for the "Udev/DRM backend"

• libudev
• libinput
• libgbm
• libseat

If you want to enable X11 support (to run X11 applications within anvil), then you'll need to install the following packages as well: - xwayland

Build and run

You can run it with cargo after having cloned this repository:

cargo run -- --{backend}

The currently available backends are:

• --winit: start anvil as a Winit application. This allows you to run it inside of an other X11 or Wayland session.
• --tty-udev: start anvil in a tty with udev support. This is the "traditional" launch of a Wayland compositor. Note that this requires you to start anvil as root if your system does not have logind available.
