This material needs expanding ...

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. A login manager such as Elogind can configure this and other Freedesktop.org environment variables automatically.

Generally it's inadvisable to configure XDG_* variables manually as this configuration may have errors or conflict with other utilities that do this automatically.
