# Dank (dms) Greeter
|
||||
|
||||
A greeter for [greetd](https://github.com/kennylevinsen/greetd) that follows the aesthetics of the dms lock screen.
|
||||
|
||||
## Features
|
||||
|
||||
- **Multi user**: Login with any system user
|
||||
- **dms sync**: Sync settings with dms for consistent styling between shell and greeter
|
||||
- **niri or Hyprland**: Use either niri or Hyprland for the greeter's compositor.
|
||||
- **Custom PAM**: Supports custom PAM configuration in `/etc/pam.d/dankshell`
|
||||
- **Session Memory**: Remembers last selected session and user
|
||||
|
||||
## Installation
|
||||
|
||||
The easiest thing is to run `dms greeter install` or `dms` for interactive installation.
|
||||
|
||||
Manual installation:
|
||||
1. Install `greetd` (in most distro's standard repositories)
|
||||
2. Copy `assets/dms-niri.kdl` or `assets/dms-hypr.conf` to `/etc/greetd`
|
||||
- niri if you want to run the greeter under niri, hypr if you want to run the greeter under Hyprland
|
||||
3. Copy `assets/greet-niri.sh` or `assets/greet-hyprland.sh` to `/etc/greetd/start-dms.sh`
|
||||
4. Edit `/etc/greetd/dms-niri.kdl` or `/etc/greetd/dms-hypr.conf` and replace `_DMS_PATH_` with the absolute path to dms, e.g. `/home/joecool/.config/quickshell/dms`
|
||||
5. Edit or create `/etc/greetd/config.toml`
|
||||
```toml
|
||||
[terminal]
|
||||
# The VT to run the greeter on. Can be "next", "current" or a number
|
||||
# designating the VT.
|
||||
vt = 1
|
||||
|
||||
# The default session, also known as the greeter.
|
||||
[default_session]
|
||||
|
||||
# `agreety` is the bundled agetty/login-lookalike. You can replace `/bin/sh`
|
||||
# with whatever you want started, such as `sway`.
|
||||
|
||||
# The user to run the command as. The privileges this user must have depends
|
||||
# on the greeter. A graphical greeter may for example require the user to be
|
||||
# in the `video` group.
|
||||
user = "greeter"
|
||||
|
||||
command = "/etc/greetd/start-dms.sh"%
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Enable the greeter with `sudo systemctl enable greetd`
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
To run dms in greeter mode you just need to set `DMS_RUN_GREETER=1` in the environment.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
DMS_RUN_GREETER=1 qs -p /path/to/dms
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
#### Compositor
|
||||
|
||||
You can configure compositor specific settings such as outputs/displays the same as you would in niri or Hyprland.
|
||||
|
||||
Simply edit `/etc/greetd/dms-niri.kdl` or `/etc/greetd/dms-hypr.conf` to change compositor settings for the greeter
|
||||
|
||||
#### Personalization
|
||||
|
||||
Wallpapers and themes and weather and clock formats and things are a TODO on the documentation, but it's configured exactly the same as dms.
|
||||
|
||||
You can synchronize those configurations with a specific user if you want greeter settings to always mirror the shell.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# For core settings (theme, clock formats, etc)
|
||||
sudo ln -sf ~/.config/DankMaterialShell/settings.json /etc/greetd/.dms/settings.json
|
||||
# For state (mainly you would configure wallpaper in this file)
|
||||
sudo ln -sf ~/.local/state/DankMaterialShell/session.json /etc/greetd/.dms/session.json
|
||||
# For wallpaper based theming
|
||||
sudo ln -sf ~/.cache/quickshell/dankshell/dms-colors.json /etc/greetd/.dms/dms-colors.json
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You can override the configuration path with the `DMS_GREET_CFG_DIR` environment variable, the default is `/etc/greetd/.dms`
|
||||
|
||||
It should be writable by the greeter user.
