# nixpkgs-wayland

## Overview

Automated, pre-built packages for Wayland (sway/wlroots) tools for NixOS.

Packages from this overlay are regularly updated and built against `nixos-unstable` and `nixpkgs-unstable`.

(Sister repositories: [nixpkgs-kubernetes](https://github.com/colemickens/nixpkgs-kubernetes), [nixpkgs-colemickens](https://github.com/colemickens/nixpkgs-colemickens))

## Usage

Continue reading for usage instructions on NixOS (only the `nixos-unstable` channel is supported!).

You can also use this [with Nix on Ubuntu. Please see the full walkthrough](docs/sway-on-ubuntu/).

### Usage (nixos-unstable)

This usage just utilizes [`overlay` functionality from `nixpkgs`]().

Note that when using the overlay, the module will automatically reference the correct
`sway` package since the newer package is overlayed ontop of `pkgs`.

```nix
{ config, lib, pkgs, ... }:
let
  url = "https://github.com/colemickens/nixpkgs-wayland/archive/master.tar.gz";
  waylandOverlay = (import (builtins.fetchTarball url));
in
  {
    nixpkgs.overlays = [ waylandOverlay ];
    programs.sway-beta.enable = true;
    programs.sway-beta.extraPackages = with pkgs; [
      swayidle # used for controlling idle timeouts and triggers (screen locking, etc)
      swaylock # used for locking Wayland sessions

      waybar        # polybar-alike
      i3status-rust # simpler bar written in Rust

      grim     # screen image capture
      slurp    # screen are selection tool
      mako     # notification daemon
      wlstream # screen recorder
      oguri    # animated background utility
      kanshi   # dynamic display configuration helper
      redshift-wayland # patched to work with wayland gamma protocol
    ];
    environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
      # other compositors/window-managers
      wayfire  # 3D wayland compositor
      waybox   # An openbox clone on Wayland
      bspwc    # Wayland compositor based on BSPWM
    ];
  }
```

### Quick Tips: `sway`

* Usage of display managers with `sway` is not supported upstream, you should run it from a TTY.
* You will likely want a default config file to place at `$HOME/.config/sway/config`. You can use the upstream default as a starting point: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/blob/master/config.in

## Updates

* `./update.sh`:
  * updates `pkgs/<pkg>/metadata.nix` with the latest commit+hash for each package
  * updates `nixpkgs/<channel>/metadata.nix` per the upstream channel
  * calls `nix-build build.nix` to build all packages against `nixos-unstable`
  * calls `nix-build build.nixpkgs.nix` to build all packages against `nixpkgs-unstable`
  * pushes to [nixpkgs-wayland on cachix](https://nixpkgs-wayland.cachix.org)

## Binary Cache

Packages are built as described in the section above and are published to cachix.

See usage instructions at [`nixpkgs-wayland` on cachix](https://nixpkgs-wayland.cachix.org).
