Wayvnc Arch Linux (Pinephone)

Traditionally we have been using Xorg or X11 as the display server on linux. Wayland is a similar display server which aims to be a modern and more optimized. I'm not much used to wayland and this is a guide for using wayvnc, a vnc server for wayland. Any vnc client like tigervnc/ realvncviewer can be used.

# Install wayvnc
sudo pacman -S wayvnc

Create a config with the authentication info and load it using the --config command line option or place it at the default location $HOME/.config/wayvnc/config.

address=0.0.0.0
enable_auth=true
username=luser
password=p455w0rd
private_key_file=/path/to/key.pem
certificate_file=/path/to/cert.pem

or without auth

address=0.0.0.0
enable_auth=false
username=luser
password=p455w0rd
