A very, VERY WIP Smithay-based wayland compositor
## Changelog See [`CHANGELOG.md`](CHANGELOG.md). ## Info ### What is Pinnacle? Pinnacle is a Wayland compositor built in Rust using [Smithay](https://github.com/Smithay/smithay). It's my attempt at creating something like [AwesomeWM](https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome) for Wayland. It sports high configurability through a (soon to be) extensive Lua API, with plans for a Rust API in the future. Showcase soon:tm: (don't expect anything mind-blowing) ### Features > This is a non-exhaustive list. - [x] Winit backend (so you can run Pinnacle in your graphical environment) - [x] Udev backend (so you can run Pinnacle in a tty) - [x] Tag system - [ ] Layout system - [x] Left master stack, corner, dwindle, spiral layouts - [ ] Other three master stack directions, floating, magnifier, maximized, and fullscreen layouts - [ ] Resizable layouts - [x] XWayland support - This is currently somewhat buggy. If you find a problem, please submit an issue! - [x] Layer-shell support - [ ] wlr-screencopy support - [ ] wlr-output-management support - [ ] Server-side decorations - [ ] Animations and blur and all that pizazz - [ ] Widget system - [ ] The other stuff Awesome has - [x] Is very cool :thumbsup: ## Dependencies > I have not tested these. If Pinnacle doesn't work properly with these packages installed, please submit an issue. You'll need the following packages, as specified by [Smithay](https://github.com/Smithay/smithay): `libwayland libxkbcommon libudev libinput libgdm libseat`, as well as `xwayland`. - Arch: ``` sudo pacman -S wayland wayland-protocols libxkbcommon systemd-libs libinput mesa seatd xwayland ``` - Debian: ``` sudo apt install libwayland-dev libxkbcommon-dev libudev-dev libinput-dev libgdm-dev libseat-dev xwayland ``` - NixOS: Use the provided [`shell.nix`](shell.nix). - TODO: other distros. You'll also need Lua 5.4 for configuration. **Older versions will not work.** Check with your package manager to see which version you have. ## Building Build the project with: ``` cargo build [--release] ``` For NixOS users, there is a provided [`shell.nix`](shell.nix) file that you can use for `nix-shell`. flake soon:tm: ## Running After building, run the executable located in either: ```sh ./target/debug/pinnacle # without --release ./target/release/pinnacle # with --release ``` Or, run the project directly with ```sh cargo run [--release] ``` Pinnacle will automatically initialize the correct backend for your environment. However, there is an additional flag you can pass in: `--`. You most likely do not need to use it. `backend` can be one of two values: - `winit`: run Pinnacle as a window in your graphical environment - `udev`: run Pinnacle in a tty. If you try to run either in environments where you shouldn't be, you will get a warning requiring you to pass in the `--force` flag to continue. *You probably shouldn't be doing that.* > #### :information_source: Make sure `command` in your `metaconfig.toml` is set to the right file. > If it isn't, the compositor will open, but your config will not apply. In that case, kill the compositor using the keybind defined in `kill_keybind` and set `command` properly. > #### :information_source: Pinnacle will open a socket in the `/tmp` directory. > If for whatever reason you need the socket to be in a different place, run Pinnacle with > the `SOCKET_DIR` environment variable: > ```sh > SOCKET_DIR=/path/to/new/dir/ cargo run > ``` > #### :warning: Do not run Pinnacle as root. > This will open the socket with root-only permissions, and future non-root invocations of Pinnacle will fail when trying to remove the socket until it is removed manually. ## Configuration Pinnacle is configured in Lua. Rust support is planned. Pinnacle will search for a `metaconfig.toml` file in the following directories, from top to bottom: ```sh $PINNACLE_CONFIG_DIR $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/pinnacle/ ~/.config/pinnacle ``` The `metaconfig.toml` file provides information on what config to run, kill and reload keybinds, and any environment variables you want set. To use the provided Lua config, run the following: ```sh PINNACLE_CONFIG_DIR="./api/lua" cargo run ``` To run without the above environment variable, copy [`metaconfig.toml`](api/lua/metaconfig.toml) and [`example_config.lua`](api/lua/example_config.lua) to `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/pinnacle/` (this will probably be `~/.config/pinnacle`). > If you rename `example_config.lua` to something like `init.lua`, you will need to change `command` in `metaconfig.toml` to reflect that. ### :information_source: Using the Lua Language Server It is ***highly*** recommended to use the [Lua language server](https://github.com/LuaLS/lua-language-server) and set it up to have the [`api/lua`](api/lua) directory as a library. This will provide documentation, autocomplete, and error checking. #### For VS Code: Install the [Lua](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=sumneko.lua) plugin, then go into its settings and add the path to the [`api/lua`](api/lua) directory to `Workspace: Library`. #### For Neovim: Pass this table into your Lua language server settings: ```lua Lua = { workspace = { library = { "/path/to/pinnacle/api/lua" -- Your path here } } } ``` ### API Documentation You can find online documentation for the Lua API [here](https://ottatop.github.io/pinnacle/main). Note that there are some missing things like the `Keys` table and `Layout` enum as well as any function overloads, but these should be autocompleted through the language server. Documentation for other branches can be reached at `https://ottatop.github.io/pinnacle/`. ## Controls The following controls are currently hardcoded: - `Ctrl + Left Mouse`: Move a window - `Ctrl + Right Mouse`: Resize a window You can find the rest of the controls in the [`example_config`](api/lua/example_config.lua). ## Feature Requests, Bug Reports, Contributions, and Questions See [`CONTRIBUTING.md`](CONTRIBUTING.md).
