If it can be taught to speak a simple JSON-based IPC protocol, then it can be a greeter.\n\nSee the [wiki](https://man.sr.ht/~kennylevinsen/greetd) for FAQ, guides for common configurations, and troubleshooting information.\n\n## List of known greetd greeters\n\n- agreety - The simple, text-based greeter living in this repo is a simple example.\n- [gtkgreet](https://git.sr.ht/~kennylevinsen/gtkgreet) - The flagship graphical, GTK based greeter (xdg-shell or wlr-layer-shell, to be used with something like `sway`)\n- [qtgreet](https://gitlab.com/marcusbritanicus/QtGreet) - Qt-based greeter (using wlr-layer-shell, to be used with something like `sway`)\n- [dlm](https://git.sr.ht/~kennylevinsen/dlm) - Dumb Login Manager (using fbdev)\n- [ddlm](https://github.com/deathowl/ddlm) - Deathowl's dummy login manager (using fbdev)\n- [wlgreet](https://git.sr.ht/~kennylevinsen/wlgreet) - Wayland greeter (using wlr-layer-shell, to be used with something like `sway`)\n- [tuigreet](https://github.com/apognu/tuigreet) - Console UI greeter (using tui-rs)\n- [ReGreet](https://github.com/rharish101/ReGreet) - Clean and customizable GTK4 based greeter (to be used with something like `sway`)\n- [marine_greetdm](https://github.com/Decodetalkers/marine_greetdm) - A cli greeter, by rustyline and without gui. It can configure enviroment variables for special desktops.\n- [greetd-qmlgreet](https://github.com/Decodetalkers/greetd-qmlgreet) - Qt6 qml greetd (using ext-session-shell, to be used with something like `river` and `sway`)\n- [Phog](https://gitlab.com/mobian1/phog) - A greetd-compatible greeter for mobile devices like Purism's Librem 5 and Pine64's PinePhone.\n\nPatches expanding the list welcome.\n\n## Installation\n\nThe below will install greetd, agreety and the default configuration. This looks *just* like `agetty(8)` and `login(1)`. See the manpages and the wiki for information on how to do more interesting things.\n\n### From packages\n\n#### Arch Linux\n\ngreetd and a few greeters are available in AUR for Arch Linux.\n\n#### Gentoo\n\n```sh\nemerge gui-libs/greetd\n```\n\n### Manually from source\n\n```sh\n# Compile greetd and agreety.\ncargo build --release\n\n# Put things into place\nsudo cp target/release/{greetd,agreety} /usr/local/bin/\nsudo cp greetd.service /etc/systemd/system/greetd.service\nmkdir /etc/greetd\ncp config.toml /etc/greetd/config.toml\n\n# Create the greeter user\nsudo useradd -M -G video greeter\nsudo chmod -R go+r /etc/greetd/\n\n# Look in the configuration file `/etc/greetd/config.toml` and edit as appropriate.\n# When done, enable and start greetd\nsystemctl enable --now greetd\n```\n\n## How do I write my own greeter?\n\nAll you need is an application that can speak the greetd IPC protocol, which is documented in `greetd-ipc(7)`. See gtkgreet or agreety for inspiration.\n\n# How to discuss\n\nGo to #kennylevinsen @ irc.libera.chat to discuss, or use [~kennylevinsen/greetd-devel@lists.sr.ht](https://lists.sr.ht/~kennylevinsen/greetd-devel).\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Farush-sal%2Fgreetd","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Farush-sal%2Fgreetd","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Farush-sal%2Fgreetd/lists"}
