 A more thorough guide to installing, configuring, and running wayland on Alpine would be better. |
Wayland is a new display protocol that aims to replace X11.
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
Weston and other compositors require the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR variable to be set. Simply save the following script in /etc/profile.d/xdg_runtime_dir.sh and re-login to have it set up properly.
if test -z "${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}"; then
export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/tmp/$(id -u)-runtime-dir
if ! test -d "${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}"; then
mkdir "${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}"
chmod 0700 "${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}"
