data: Add example greetd setup

[agx]

As we need to run phoc and an OSK it's good to have a working example.

This was taken from Debian and originally authored by

Arnaud Ferraris aferraris@debian.org

and is close to what Phosh uses for session startup.

It's not installed anywhere atm,

Thanks for this. There's two reasons I've been dragging my heels on this:

• I was originally planning to handle everything from the phrog binary. e.g earlier builds were spawning a phoc subprocess and using that if the required wl globals were missing, but I've since reverted that:
• I want to get Run with gnome-session #70 sorted out before the next release so that power button is properly handled.

Once 🐸 runs under/with gnome-session, that would change things here quite a bit, right? For example, wouldn't it be expected that the OSK is spawned/managed by gnome-session in that case?

I want to get #70 sorted out before the next release so that power button is properly handled.

That would likely still use a wrapper, just one that is closer to what phosh uses. Maybe we can even elevate phosh's session setup at one point and just pass a different session config.

I think maybe this file should be dropped entirely:

• Fedora uses vt = 2
• Fedora + Alpine use greetd as user instead of Debian's _greetd
• Alpine has no systemd

If I had a Makefile or Meson project in place then we could template this but for now I think it's just better for each distro to carry their own greetd config, WDYT?

I was kind of thinking the same. Just mentioning a example in the README would be fine I think. Because anyways, in postmarketOS we have to override it. and its different in Arch, fedora and debian.

[agx]

Or maybe mark it more clearly as example?

[samcday]

Works for me!

v2

• Rename folder to example-config
• Comment on the greetd user
• Drop phoc.ini, usually not needed
• Mention example config in README

Looks good, thanks for doing this. I'll merge now and work on massaging it into the Alpine packaging imminently.
