GitHub - samcday/phrog: 🐸 Mobile device greeter (original) (raw)

A greeter that works on mobile devices and also other kinds of computers.

🤓 phrog uses Phosh to conduct a greetd conversation.

It is the spiritual successor of phog.

Usage

Alpine/postmarketOS

sudo apk add greetd-phrog

# Configure greetd to run phrog:
cat <<HERE | sudo tee -a /etc/conf.d/greetd
cfgfile="/etc/phrog/greetd-config.toml"
HERE

rc-update add greetd

Debian

Currently only in sid, but you can also get it from the Phosh nightly repo.

sudo apt install phrog
sudo systemctl enable greetd

Fedora

# Phrog is not available in Fedora's repos
# But an unofficial COPR is provided:
sudo dnf copr enable samcday/phrog
sudo dnf install phrog

sudo systemctl enable phrog

Other

Want to use phrog on another distro? Please get in touch.

If you want to run it manually, you'll need to build from source (see below), and then take a look at the existing packaging to understand how to wire up the necessary bits to spawn a functional greeter session under greetd.

crates.io / cargo-install

phrog is also published on crates.io, so you can install it directly with Cargo:

cargo-binstall is supported:

Development

libphosh 0.45 is required to build this project.

• Alpine (v3.21+): sudo apk add libphosh
• Debian (trixie): sudo apt install libphosh-0.45-dev
• Fedora: sudo dnf install libphosh-devel

If libphosh is not packaged for your distro, you need to build Phosh+libphosh manually. See the Phosh README for more info.

Once libphosh is installed, building and running 🐸 should be quite simple:

To run phrog without greetd, pass --fake

You can "login" to any user with the password "0"

phoc -S -E "cargo run -- --fake"

phoc -S -E "cargo test"
