Howdy, folks! Doing X11 forwarding over ssh has been my go to way to access graphical applications on my headless server. With X11 being deprecated with its many security issues, I was slightly bummed since I thought I’d have to setup VNC or RDP.
Low and behold I stumbled across Waypipe! Made my god damn day.
So how do you do it? Like, what’s the Wayland equivalent of
xinit ssh -X user@remote-server startkde
to forward an entire desktop session?From the source, mostly
s/xinit/waypipe
: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mstoeckl/waypipe#usageI love that this notation is generally accepted among the linux nerds. Lemmy FTW :)
To be fair, if you’re deep enough into Linux to use xinit, it’s extremely unlikely you’ve never used sed before.
That looks promising. Thanks!
