broadwayd - Broadway display server

broadwayd [–port PORT/] [–address /ADDRESS/] [–unixsocket /ADDRESS/] [:DISPLAY/]

broadwayd is a display server for the Broadway GDK backend. It allows multiple GTK+ applications to display their windows in the same web browser, by connecting to broadwayd.

When using broadwayd, specify the display number to use, prefixed with a colon, similar to X. The default display number is 0.

    broadwayd :5

Then point your web browser at http://127.0.0.1:8085. Start your applications like this:

    GDK_BACKEND=broadway BROADWAY_DISPLAY=:5 gtk3-demo

You can add password protection for your session by creating a file in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/broadway.passwd or $HOME/.config/broadway.passwd with a crypt(3) style password hash. A simple way to generate it is with openssl:

    openssl passwd -1  > ~/.config/broadway.passwd

–port

Use PORT as the HTTP port, instead of the default 8080 + (DISPLAY - 1).

–address

Use ADDRESS as the HTTP address, instead of the default http://127.0.0.1/PORT/.

–unixsocket

Use ADDRESS as the unix domain socket address. This option overrides –address and –port. It is available only on Unix-like systems.
