broadwayd: GTK+ 3 Reference Manual

## broadwayd broadwayd — Broadway display server |

## Synopsis

`broadwayd` [--port `PORT`] [--address `ADDRESS`] [--unixsocket `ADDRESS`] [`:DISPLAY`]

## Description

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

## Options

--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.
