broadwayd - Broadway display server
SYNOPSIS
-
broadwayd [--port PORT] [--address ADDRESS] [--unixsocket ADDRESS] [:DISPLAY]
DESCRIPTION
broadwayd
is a display server for the Broadway GDK backend. It allows multiple GTK+ applications to display their windows in the same web browser, by connecting to broadwayd.
When using broadwayd, specify the display number to use, prefixed with a colon, similar to X. The default display number is 0.
-
broadwayd :5
Then point your web browser at
http://127.0.0.1:8085. Start your applications like this:
-
GDK_BACKEND=broadway BROADWAY_DISPLAY=:5 gtk3-demo
You can add password protection for your session by creating a file in
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/broadway.passwd
or
$HOME/.config/broadway.passwd
with a crypt(3) style password hash. A simple way to generate it is with openssl:
-
openssl passwd -1 > ~/.config/broadway.passwd

--port
-
