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}"
fi

This code was taken from Weston's build instructions. Only ${UID} (not present on Alpine Linux) has been replaced with $(id -u).
If using fish, use the following script, placed in /etc/fish/conf.d/xdg_runtime_dir.fish:
if test -z $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
set -x XDG_RUNTIME_DIR /tmp/(id -u)-runtime-dir
if not test -d $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
mkdir $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
chmod 0700 $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
end
end
