session: Do not elide named lifetime
greetd_ipc: Add Clone trait to messages
Bump version to 0.10.3
greetd is a minimal and flexible login manager daemon that makes no assumptions about what you want to launch.
Use gtkgreet to launch sway if you want a fully graphical session, or use agreety
to launch a shell if you want a drop-in replacement for agetty(8)
and login(1)
.
If you can run it from your shell in a TTY, greetd can start it. If it can be taught to speak a simple JSON-based IPC protocol, then it can be a greeter.
See the wiki for FAQ, guides for common configurations, and troubleshooting information.

The below will install greetd, agreety and the default configuration. This looks just like agetty(8)
and login(1)
. See the manpages and the wiki for information on how to do more interesting things.
greetd and a few greeters are available in AUR for Arch Linux.
emerge gui-libs/greetd
# Compile greetd and agreety.
cargo build --release
# Put things into place
sudo cp target/release/{greetd,agreety} /usr/local/bin/
sudo cp greetd.service /etc/systemd/system/greetd.service
mkdir /etc/greetd
cp config.toml /etc/greetd/config.toml
# Create the greeter user
sudo useradd -M -G video greeter
sudo chmod -R go+r /etc/greetd/
# Look in the configuration file `/etc/greetd/config.toml` and edit as appropriate.
# When done, enable and start greetd
systemctl enable --now greetd
All you need is an application that can speak the greetd IPC protocol, which is documented in greetd-ipc(7)
. See gtkgreet or agreety for inspiration.
