It forwards Wayland +messages and serializes changes to shared memory buffers over a single +socket. This makes application forwarding similar to ssh -X [1] +feasible. + +aypipe should be installed on both the local and remote computers. +There is a user-friendly command line pattern which prefixes a call to +ssh and automatically sets up a reverse tunnel for protocol data. For +example, + +waypipe ssh user@theserver weston-terminal + + +will run ssh, connect to theserver, and remotely run weston-terminal, +using local and remote waypipe processes to synchronize the shared +memory buffers used by Wayland clients between both computers. Command +line arguments before ssh apply only to waypipe; those after ssh +belong to ssh. |
