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
Options
--port
Use PORT as the HTTP
port, instead of the default 8080 + (DISPLAY - 1).
--address
Use ADDRESS as the HTTP
address, instead of the default http://127.0.0.1:PORT.
--unixsocket
Use ADDRESS as the unix domain socket
address. This option overrides --address and --port.
It is available only on Unix-like systems.
